COMPANY

Hobby Japan was founded in 1955 as a miniature car shop in Yoyogi, Tokyo. With the motto of “bringing hobby from all over the world to hobby lovers”, it grew into a company dedicated to anything that is “hobby”, including publishing, hobby products, development and sale of board games, character development and more. Our goal is to continue to stimulate the curiosity of all hobby lovers.
