Rolife Opens Its First Direct Store in Ikebukuro

On October 1, 2026, Rolife Japan, a subsidiary of Plaza Holdings, proudly launches its first direct store at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro. This unique retail space is set to cater to the growing demand for DIY experiences, focusing primarily on 3D puzzles and miniature house kits.

A Hub for Hobby Culture

Ikebukuro has emerged as a playground for hobby enthusiasts, drawing diverse crowds from near and far. The Sunshine City complex, with its appealing blend of anime and hobby-related shops, plays host to approximately 31.3 million visitors annually. This bustling environment makes it an ideal spot for Rolife's debut, providing the perfect setting for hobbyists and casual visitors alike to discover the joy of creating.

Within Rolife's new store, customers will find an array of products ranging from simple, beginner-friendly kits to complex challenges for seasoned hobbyists. This venture seeks to immerse visitors in the rewarding experience of crafting, allowing them to engage deeply with the art of DIY.

The Rolife Experience

Rolife's product selection extends beyond traditional DIY puzzles. The store is designed to be an interactive environment where customers can explore and interact with an assortment of products, including collaborations with popular characters from various brands. The store will prominently feature the beloved character Nanci, a figure from the ROBOTIME's Rolife brand, known for her enchanting designs that embody various themes.

The items available span multiple genres, catering to older fans of collectible figures and younger audiences who are new to the world of DIY. The blind box format of many of Nanci's products adds an element of surprise, driving the excitement of collecting various versions of this charming character.

Creating New Connections in DIY

Rolife is committed to becoming a destination where the realms of DIY puzzles and beloved characters seamlessly intersect. The store will serve as a space where newcomers can experience the creative process, while dedicated fans can deepen their appreciation for character merchandise. By providing a diverse range of products, Rolife aims to foster new connections among customers, inviting them to rediscover their hobbies and passions.

An Atmosphere Designed for Discovery

The layout of the Rolife store is intentional, showcasing an engaging and imaginative atmosphere. With displays highlighting completed models and character imagery, visitors are encouraged to provide hands-on feedback and experience the magic of crafting. In addition, Rolife plans to introduce exclusive products and limited-edition items that can only be found in-store, enhancing the treasure-hunt experience for fans.
