About TOMICA


"TOMICA"was released in 1970 as Japan's first palm-sized domestic diecast miniature car series. At the time when foreign-made miniature cars were at the height of popularity,it was born out of a burning desire to see Japanese children playing with miniature cars of more familiar Japanese makes. It is now loved by parents and children across three generations. Up to now,we have sold more than 1,170 different models,a total of more than 745 million cars (As of April 2024).

(*) "TOMICA BRAND STORE" THE PLACE will be the fourth store dedicated to the "TOMICA" brand following its three shops in Japan -- the Tokyo TOMICA SHOP in Tokyo Station Ichibangai,the Osaka TOMICA SHOP in Umeda Daimaru Department Store,and the TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN Solamachi TOMICA SHOP. The Shanghai store is its first overseas outlet as of September 2024.
