Pokémon Card Lounge to open in Japan

The ultimate place to get your Pokémon Trading Card Game action on is set to open in Japan in less than two weeks.

Pokémon Co. has announced that they’re opening a Pokémon Card Lounge at Shibuya Tsutaya, and the fancy location opens its doors on April 25th, 2024. This will be the go-to place in Japan for those who want to not just play the Pokémon TCG, but also immerse themselves in everything Pokémon TGC.

The Pokémon Card Lounge will be filled with tables made for playing the TGC, and you’re free to bring your own deck or borrow one from the lounge as well. Their offerings even include a limited number of Pokémon TCG Classic decks, which will no doubt be fun to sift through and put to good use.

While visiting the Pokémon Card Lounge, you can enjoy 50 different types of drinks and 30 different snacks, all of which are included with a single entry fee for the location. It costs $11 for your first hour at the location, or you can spend $24 for a 3-hour block. You can also spend $5 to add on an additional 30 minutes after your first hour. Finally, you can get a private room for one hour for up to 4 people for $55, or a 3-hour block with the room for $120.

Last but not least, there will also be a huge amount of merch exclusive to the Pokémon Card Lounge. You can see the entire rundown of everything available at launch above, but pricing is yet to be revealed.
