Shopping in Hong Kong

Hey guys, just stopping by here to ask if anyone knows any stores that sell Touhou related goods in HK. Going there tomorrow for a few days and was wondering if you guys knew of any places I could look at. Thank you for reading this very quick message!

There was a store I went to a couple of years ago in Causeway Bay, an Animate store, which sold Touhou plushies and nendoroids, but when I went there a few weeks ago, it looks like it got shut down.

Incidentally, you did miss Comic World Hong Kong which had some Comiket stuff on sale, Touhou stuff, since that took place on February earlier this year.

Wasn't there a street near Wong Kok that has this massive row of shops that sell nothing but anime stuff? like a HK version of Otaroad or something.

A friend found one in Wan Chai, iirc, but that's about as much help as I can give you :/ Hope you can find a good place.

yes there used to be a play that sell touhou doujinshi
but it's quite expensive~
go to the red or green line and head to Mong Kok (旺角) to the B1 exit
when u head out u will see  現視點
go in there on the second floor there should be one store that sell lots of doujinshi
becareful tho, cuz the store owner got a strange temper that hate people talk weird stuff and touch his glass window :/

then head out of 現視點 and walk to the opposite side of the bank
if u see KFC along the way, then it means u are heading the right direction,
keep walking until u see a place sell jewelry (六福珠寶)
u will see a mall in black called 信和中心
I will leave that for u to explore :)

PS: when u see a gramma siting down in the store front at the basement floor, then him a guy from US say hi. ( I luv to visit her everytime when I go to 信和)

I went back to Hong Kong for a quick visit about two months ago (I grew up there). Didn't have much luck finding Touhou doujinshi that I'm interested in, but still managed to find some nice stuff.

Conpeito is one of the shops inside IN's Point (現視點). It's a small shop and has a small selection of Touhou selection (not sure if he got anything new from his recent trip to Japan).  Yau Ma Tei MTR is literally next to this Mall. Take exit A2 and make a right.
https://www.facebook.com/conpeito?fref=ts
Shop 133 IN's Point
530-538 Nathan Road
Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong

*this shop is technically in Yau Ma Tei, but still Mong Kok by address.

There is a couple shops on the same floor that has Touhou figures. Though one of those shops only opens on weekends and it was too late when I spotted a Suwako that I'd like to get.

If you walk on Nathan Road towards Mong Kok MTR, I recommend this shop in Sino Center (信和中心) about 5 minutes by walk. They have some a few rare Griffon Touhou figures and nearly all of the Figma and Nendoroid Touhou figures as well while I was there and bought a few figures from them.

Bear Bear Kuma
Shop 104 Sino Center
582-592 Nathan Road
Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong

If you do not mind trying a hole-in-the-wall shop, you can try Getter Alliance Japan Anime Shop. It's inside of this complex. Nothing massive, but I was able to find a few little things and a doujinshi I had never thought of finding there.

Shop 54 Ho King Commercial Center
2-16 Fa Yuen St
Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong

You won't be mistaken you're looking at the wrong place since the shop's sign has Reimu on it (the guys was cool about me snapping a picture of the shop)


I hope you'll find something cool.

I feel incredibly bad that I wasn't able to go to Mong Kok when I visited (I also grew up in Hong Kong)

I was looking for Touhou merch too haha... >_>;;

Guess it's all there now, heh.

Unless you ask people who are into Touhou locally who is not a shop owner, chances are people aren't as willing to tell you where to find cool things.

I actually LIVES in Hong Kong, but studies and my own personality really doesn't help encouraging me to go out, so I cannot help you with that, sorry!
Being in high school doesn't help things.

fyi the place which I buy all my TH needs is at the yearly anime convention, which is during July-August. Not that it will be useful. :V

With my busy schedule, I only got to go to two places. And one of them is closed on Sunday apparently . . .  :(

Still managed to snag myself two Touhou artbooks and a Alice Nenderoid figure. Maybe in the near future I could find more goods to purchase.

Thanks a lot for all your help guys! I couldn't have gotten my goods without you  :D

This thread makes me want to visit HK.
