2. The three souvenir areas at Tokyo Station compared
Gransta Tokyo’s shops are inside the ticket gates, so someone who is not boarding a train needs an entrance ticket. An entrance ticket is valid for 2 hours from purchase, and an extra fee is added for each additional 2 hours (Gransta, Tokyo Station Honteiban, Japanese). The two areas outside the gates are open to everyone.
| Area | Gates | What you find | Price and shelf life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gransta Tokyo | Mostly inside (some outside) | Tokyo Station-only tins and boxes, sweets shaped like the station building | Examples: ¥630–2,500; same day to 365 days |
| Tokyo Gift Palette | Outside (just past the Yaesu North Exit) | Specialty shops for Tokyo Banana, Anbutter, strawberry daifuku and more | Check each shop |
| Gransta Marunouchi | Outside (Marunouchi underground central and north exits) | Cheese tarts, doughnuts, food shops, goods | From ¥270; 4 days including the purchase day |
The prices and shelf lives come from Gransta’s “Tokyo Station Honteiban” catalog (as of September 1, 2026). Products and prices can change.
If you cannot stop at Tokyo Station, or want to send a gift to someone far away, sweets from the same brands may be sold online. Here are 3 items from brand-official or department-store shops on Rakuten Ichiba. Check the price, shipping and delivery date on each product page. (ad)

3. Things to know in Tokyo
Gransta has no car park for shoppers, and the shopping areas are built for people using the station. Gransta’s official guidance says it is a commercial facility for station users, with no car park and no discount tie-up with nearby car parks.
Closing times differ between weekdays and Saturdays, and Sundays and holidays. Gransta’s lunch boxes, deli food and sweets close an hour earlier on Sundays and holidays. Tokyo Gift Palette opens 30 minutes earlier on weekends and holidays.
If you are going home by Shinkansen, Tokyo Gift Palette, just outside the Yaesu North Exit gates, is closest. If you come in from the underground on the Marunouchi side, Gransta Marunouchi is closer. Some products can be ordered on the web and picked up at the station (how to order, Japanese).

Do I need to reserve on the day? Most products can be bought at the shop. Some products can also be ordered on the web, and some let you choose delivery or pickup at Tokyo Station.
Can I check the shelf life before buying? Gransta’s catalog gives a guide to the shelf life and use-by date of each product. It can change with production and delivery, so check the latest date at the shop.
