Introducing PLANET PORT: An Innovative Toy Shop Experience for Kids

Transforming Toy Aisles into Entertainment Experiences

In a groundbreaking move, Litpla Co., a leader in next-generation children’s parks, is set to revolutionize the traditional toy shopping experience with the launch of their new store concept, PLANET PORT. Starting June 26, 2026, the company will unveil this innovative, experience-driven toy shop within four of its existing Little Planet locations across Japan. The essence of PLANET PORT is rooted in promoting learning through play, a mission that aligns perfectly with Litpla's ethos.

Unveiling the Future of Toy Shopping

Litpla will gradually open PLANET PORT at the following locations:

- KITE MITE MATSUDO, Chiba: June 26, 2026
- Lalaport Numazu, Shizuoka: July 3, 2026
- Lalaport Izumi, Osaka: July 10, 2026
- Lalaport TOKYO-BAY, Chiba: July 17, 2026

These shops are not merely retail spaces; they are designed to be adventure hubs where children can discover, play, and learn. The goal is to create a shopping environment themed around “discovery” and “experience,” steering clear of the conventional toy store format.

Curated Trends for All Ages

Unlike traditional toy stores that cater primarily to children, PLANET PORT aims to appeal to a broader demographic, including 'kidults'—adults who embrace their inner child. This boutique toy shop will feature a carefully curated selection of trending toys and character goods, ensuring that visitors of all ages find something to ignite their imagination.

In alignment with its playful philosophy, PLANET PORT is envisioned as a hub for fun and adventure, thus establishing itself as a ‘port’ of play in the retail landscape. Annual attendance across the Little Planet parks surpasses one million visitors, providing a substantial customer base for this new concept.

Unique Products Tied to Park Attractions

In addition to offering popular toys, PLANET PORT will introduce exclusive merchandise linked to the attractions within Little Planet parks. Among the exciting new products is the MAZEMON GENERATOR, an interactive card game that utilizes general AI technology. This synergy of attraction and retail not only enhances the experience for young shoppers but also serves as an outstanding example of how technology can enrich playtime.

Moreover, visitors to the grand opening will have the opportunity to purchase items connected to new attractions debuting this summer, ensuring that the memories made in the park become tangible keepsakes.

Engaging Audiences Through Digital Media

To connect with the digital-native Alpha generation, PLANET PORT will incorporate short animated series content that blends storytelling with shopping. This initiative kicks off with a new series on YouTube, titled Planet Port TV, produced by aquwa, a company known for its successful YouTube channel Sunsun Kids TV, which has amassed over two million subscribers. By providing weekly comical storytelling set in the toy shop, PLANET PORT aims to solidify its brand as an interesting blend of character and retail space.

Upon opening, PLANET PORT will be running exciting promotional campaigns. The first 1,000 children visiting the parks at each of the four locations will receive discount coupons redeemable at PLANET PORT, inviting families to experience the magic of the new concept firsthand.

A Comment from the CEO

CEO Takashi Goto emphasizes the importance of this venture. He states, “Our mission at Litpla has always been about creating fun for all generations. With PLANET PORT, we bring the experiences of the park into the real world through tangible goods and interconnected adventures. We aim to provide unforgettable moments for both children and those who cherish the joy of childhood.”
