Hello,,

My uncle and aunt goes to Tokyo, Japan (maybe more cities) but the want to take cube for me to Holland.
Does anyone a speedcubeshop in Japan, I have search with the search function but I can't found cubes on that site.
And what are cool Japans cubes, maybe with Japans characters.

Greetings Mathijs.

Hi- I wish there were a shop in Tokyo that did- I live here and have been looking for the past month. As far as I know, all the Japan speed cubers get their stuff via post from store.tribox.com, which is based in Matsudo, Chiba, but it is not a store- It is just a guy working out of his apartment who is importing his stock from China directly. There is a nice puzzle shop in Akihabara called Torito... http://torito.jp/shopping/new.shtml , but they only sell official Rubik's (mega house), V cubes, Meifforts, etc- the big, non-Chinese companies. It's a small shop, but quite an amazing array of puzzles- just not what you are looking for.

So far, I couldn't find ANY store that actually sells any Dayan, Alpha, QJ, Eastsheen, ShenShou, Ghost Hand, LanLan in Japan. Only Tribox does, that they don't have an actual shop!

Thanks, but the don't sell cubes with Japanese characters?

Sorry- none that I have seen. If you go to any toy shop, you might be able to find some cubes with Mario characters, Hello Kitty, Doraemon, etc, but nothing with cool looking Chinese/Japanese writing characters (I am assuming you are referring to Kanji, right?) on them.

There is a special Japan-only official Rubik cube for sale now with 6 images of Tokyo Sky Tree on it. It costs about 1800 yen, but since it is a Mega House Rubik's, it has zero corner cutting, and center caps are not removable.

Do you now how many euros it is for the Mario cubes with pictures and the other one?

And where is the official Tokyo Rubik's cube store?

20 euros if you can find it. It is not made anymore (discontinued in 2008). Sorry- NO Tokyo Rubik's store. You just go to any toy store and look for puzzle games.
