Where can I buy official Tokyo Disneyland merchandise outside of the parks?
A guide on where to buy real official Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea merchandise outside of the Tokyo Disney Resort theme parks.
Bon Voyage is the large official Disney gift store near Disneyland
Tokyo Disney Resort merchandise is wonderfully unique – and exclusive. Often very reasonably priced, Tokyo Disney ears, popcorn buckets, toys and more are only sold inside the Tokyo Disney Resort theme parks and a few outside gift stores. It may surprise you to know that most Japan Disney Stores are not actually official Tokyo Disney Resort Stores!
This article is all about Tokyo Disney’s merchandise – and where to get it outside of the Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea theme parks.
But first – where can I buy Tokyo Disneyland tickets online?
Buying Tokyo Disney Resort parks tickets online for international visitors can be tricky.
There are often problems using international credit cards if you attempt to buy them on the official TDR website.
The way around this for most Australians and other international tourists is by buying your tickets using our partner Klook who are official Tokyo Disney Resort ticket sellers.

The Ikspiari Mall Disney Store at Maihama
Are you really buying Tokyo Disney parks merchandise?
Japan Disney Stores are almost always not official Tokyo Disney Stores. Some Japan USA Disney stores are even called “Flagship” Disney stores – but they are nothing to do with Tokyo Disneyland. It can all be quite confusing to us visiting tourists – and it all comes down to the ownership of Tokyo Disney Resort.
Even though this is an official Disney store bag, this bag is not official Tokyo Disney Resort merchandise!
Who owns Tokyo Disneyland?
Tokyo Disney Resort (TDR) is owned by the Oriental Land Company, a completely separate company to the Walt Disney Company. The Oriental Land Company buy the right to use Disney’s intellectual property.
Tokyo Disney Resort contains the only Disney Parks in the world not owned by the Walt Disney Company. Tokyo Disney Resort’s owner pays for the rights to the Disney franchise, but put their own spin on things – and produce their own exclusive merchandise! This is why Tokyo Disney’s merchandise is so different to regular Disney merchandise – including different price-points! And it’s all completely exclusive to their own stores and parks.
What this means is, you cannot obtain Tokyo Disney merchandise from any of the outside Disney stores, other than the official Tokyo Disney Resort Stores. To confuse matters further, even though you can’t buy TDR merchandise in USA Disney Stores in Japan, sometimes you can buy USA celebratory and otherwise merchandise inside Tokyo Disney Resort – like the recent US Disney 100 merchandise which was sold in the main DisneySea gift store!

The Tokyo Disney Bon Voyage gift store
What is in the Tokyo Disney Resort Bon Voyage store?
The Tokyo Disney Resort Official Store Bon Voyage is located on the upper walkway between the Tokyo Disneyland entrance and Maihama Station. It is usually open later than Tokyo Disneyland, and so is a great place to grab last minute gifts on the way to the station or bus stops.
Inside Bon Voyage Disney gift store
Bon Voyage carries a lot of official Tokyo Disney Resorts park merchandise, including some seasonal merchandise. It does not carry everything. Don’t count on Bon Voyage having that special item you saw in the parks and wished you had bought! It’s always worth checking Bon Voyage however, because you never know what they will stock!

Is the Disney Store in Ikspiari at Maihama official?
No, Ikspiari Disney Store is an American-owned Disney Store.
In Maihama just ten minutes walk from the Tokyo Disneyland and two minute walk from the Maihama JR Railway Station you’ll find the large Disney Store in the Ikspiari shopping mall. Although this store is located very near to the Tokyo Disney parks, this is a USA Disney store, and not an official Tokyo Disney Store.
Several more USA Disney stores are scattered throughout Japan – mainly in Tokyo and Osaka. These are not to be confused with official Tokyo Disney stores.

What do the USA Tokyo and Osaka Disney Stores sell?
Inside the American Disney stores in Tokyo and Osaka you won’t find any official Tokyo Disney Resort merchandise.
You will find standard USA Disney merchandise like Loungefly bags, plush toys and USA Spirit Jerseys. They also sell Japanese UniBEARsity Bears plush toys, plus some limited and exclusive Tokyo and Osaka merchandise.
Loungefly Disney Bags in the Shinjuku Disney Tokyo Flagship Store
You’ll often find seasonal merchandise, including for the Chinese New Year, New Year and special Sakura Season plushies. There is often exclusive Tokyo and Osaka branded bags, brand collaborations and more. None of which is connected to – or sold inside – the Tokyo Disney parks.
The Tokyo Shibuya Disney Store is styled like a castle tower
Which are the Japan USA Disney Stores?
We have visited the Japan Disney Stores in Tokyo, including Shibuya (Styled like a castle tower over several levels), Shinjuku (Tokyo Flagship Store) and Ikspiari (near Disneyland).
The Osaka Hep 5 Disney Store
In Osaka we have visited the Hep 5 Disney Store, one of two Disney Stores in the city.
The following video of the Hep 5 Osaka USA Disney Store shows what the Japan Disney stores are like outside of the Tokyo Disney parks in Japan.

How do I book a Standby Pass to go inside some Tokyo Disney Shops?
New merchandise (including capsule/Gashapon machines, Duffy & Friends new themes and seasonal merchandise such as Halloween and Christmas) is in such demand that it can often mean needing to book a standby pass for some stores in the Tokyo Disney Parks. This is best done first thing in the morning to ensure you can get into the store in the park in order to shop. You book Store Standby Passes on the official Tokyo Disney Resort App. Some new items are often number limited to your entrance ticket, and can also sell out in days, or even hours – never to be stocked again. If stores are restricted to Standby Passes on your day of visit you won’t be able to enter without one.
Watch our Tokyo Disney Store Standby pass booking guide here.
There’s a chance that new merchandise will be released during your Tokyo Disney visit, so it can be helpful to know how to book a Tokyo Disney Store Standby Pass, or you may miss out on one of the big gift stores! Booking a Standby Pass for a Store won’t affect your booking passes for any rides. Learn how to book a TDR Standby Pass in the following video.

Are there Tokyo Disneyland Official Merchandise Resellers?
Yes there are, however reselling Tokyo Disney Resort merchandise is now illegal, and if you do try to buy from resellers it is usually very expensive to buy it this way.
So the moral of this story is, rather than be like one of the many people suffering from non-buyers regret after leaving Tokyo Disney Resort, if you are deliberating over something inside the Tokyo Disney Parks that has caught your eye, my advice is to buy it!
