Pokémon Tokyo: One Perfect Day

Three Pokémon Centers, one café and the Tokyo Station character corridor, arranged so you never backtrack.

Pokémon

This route starts at the flagship in Nihonbashi at opening time, when the store is at its emptiest and the Pokémon Café slot you booked 31 days ago is waiting. From there it moves through Tokyo Station, across to Shibuya for the laboratory-themed branch, and finishes in Ikebukuro where the card play area and Pikachu Sweets close out the day. Every leg is 20 minutes or less on the JR network.
