We are pleased to announce that MEDICOM TOY will open its new directly managed
store, MEDICOM TOY TOKYO, on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at the site of the former
project 1/6 in Udagawacho, Shibuya, Tokyo.
Inheriting the spirit of project 1/6, which since its opening in 1996 has been about giving
form to that “I want this!” impulse, MEDICOM TOY TOKYO now enters a new phase as a
research lab that continues to explore the Toi — a Japanese homophone for the word
“question” — of what a toy can truly be.
Over the course of the 29-year mission of project 1/6, toys have expanded beyond being
mere objects to “play” with or “collect,” becoming influences that shape people’s lifestyles
and values.
At MEDICOM TOY TOKYO, we will reexamine the ever-expanding significance of toys from
the heart of Tokyo — a city that is forever experimental and unfinished — and transmit new
possibilities to the world.
With the sales floor expanded by approximately 25% and a more open atmosphere, the
center of the store now features a massive 8-meter-long “experiment table.”
Going beyond the boundaries of a conventional antenna shop, we aim to create an open
laboratory where experimental products, ideas, and Tokyo’s raw energy come together to
spark creative chemical reactions.
In pursuit of MEDICOM TOY’s next possibilities—
At MEDICOM TOY TOKYO, every toy gives rise to a question (Toi), and every question
gives birth to a new toy.
We invite you to look forward to this unpredictable evolution.
