Discover the 'MOTHER Shop' at Shibuya PARCO

The highly anticipated 'MOTHER Shop' is set to open its doors at the sixth floor of Shibuya PARCO for a limited time, from July 25 to September 8, 2025. This exciting initiative is part of the Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun's ongoing 'MOTHER Project,' celebrating the legendary RPG series created by Shigesato Itoi. This marks the project's first real shop, a special space dedicated to fans of the beloved franchise.

Previously, various events hosted merchandise related to the MOTHER series, but now fans have the chance to explore a standalone shop that showcases an array of products and experiences. The opening coincides with a gallery event on the eighth floor titled 'The Form of MOTHER,' enhancing the overall experience with themed displays and artistic interpretations of the MOTHER universe.

Inside the 'MOTHER Shop,' visitors can find a wide selection of summer-exclusive MOTHER merchandise, including the popular Franklin Badge and plushies of Dosa-san, among other bestsellers. For those who shop at this unique venue, there will be a special exclusive shopping bag available for every transaction, a perfect memento to commemorate the visit. The organizers encourage everyone to explore the shop on the sixth floor in conjunction with the 'The Form of MOTHER' event upstairs.

Special Collaborations and Unique Merchandise

In anticipation of the grand opening, the Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun is excited to unveil various new products. Notably, a collaboration with Isesaki, a historic confectionery brand with nearly 100 years of tradition, has resulted in the creation of the Saturn Valley Cookie Box, which includes original cookies featuring the fan-favorite character Dosa-san from 'MOTHER 2: Gyiyg's Counterattack.' This delightful treat comes in a beautifully embossed tin, adding a unique touch to its presentation.

Additional new products include:

• - Saturn Valley Cookie Box (¥2808, tax included)

This cookie box encapsulates the charm of Saturn Valley with adorable, embossed characters that entice fans of all ages.

• - Dosa-san Candy Bottle (¥2640, tax included)

The whimsical candy bottle features Dosa-san perched adorably on top, filled with strawberry-flavored candies, making it a perfect collectible item.

• - Mini Square Tote (¥1650, tax included)

A mini version of the popular Square Tote, available in three designs, perfect for carrying small essentials or as a fun accessory.

These exclusive products will have their online pre-sale beginning July 17 at 11 AM on the official Hobo Nikkan Itoi Shinbun site, with additional items available for purchase from July 25 at the 'MOTHER Shop' and other locations, including TOBICHI Tokyo.
