A real AE86 appears directly connected to Nagoya Station! "Initial D" CAMSHOP pop-up store at Takashimaya Gate Tower Mall until June 24.

If you're traveling to Nagoya and someone in your group likes Japanese cars, anime, or Initial D, this limited-time pop-up event is a great addition to your itinerary. CAMSHOP has opened an officially authorized Initial D merchandise pop-up store on the 7th floor of Rose Terrace in Takashimaya Gate Tower Mall, which is directly connected to Nagoya Station. The biggest highlight is the real TOYOTA Sprinter Trueno AE86 displayed in the mall, familiar to fans of the series as the Hachiroku.

The event will be held from June 1st to June 24th, 2026. The venue is right next to Nagoya Station, making it very accessible. You can see the actual vehicles and merchandise without having to travel to the suburbs. For travelers who are only staying in Nagoya for half a day or a full day, these station-connected events are easy to fit into gaps between shopping, dining, and transferring trains.

The 7th floor of the mall is displaying a real AE86, and taking photos with it really makes you stand out.

The most eye-catching part of this pop-up event was the actual Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 display. The AE86 is the core symbol of the Initial D universe, and placing it in a department store space created an uncommon, conflicting atmosphere. For overseas travelers, it's a time-saving photo opportunity as they can see this car up close near Nagoya Station without needing to rent a car or attend a sports car meet.

The venue is on the 7th floor of Takashimaya Gate Tower Mall at Rose Terrace. It is recommended to go up and take a look around during your shopping trip during the day. If you want to capture fewer people in your photos, weekdays in the morning or shortly after opening are usually more comfortable than weekend afternoons. On weekends, you can better feel the enthusiasm of car and anime fans gathering. Please also be mindful of the mall's traffic flow and instructions from on-site staff when taking photos, especially do not obstruct passageways or touch the display vehicles for the sake of framing.

Officially licensed merchandise ranges from keychains to car model accessories.

The pop-up store features officially licensed Initial D merchandise, toys, and apparel. Best-selling items include the Initial D AE86 3D keychain, AE86 wet tissue holder (late version), Initial D 366-day birthday keychain, and the AE86 wireless mouse (early and late versions).

If you're looking for a lightweight souvenir, 3D keychains or birthday keychains are easier to pack. For car enthusiasts, the AE86 wet wipe dispenser and wireless mouse are more conversation-starting items. Birthday keychains cover all 366 days, making them suitable for finding your own or a friend's date on the spot, though it might take some time to search. Product inventory is affected by attendance, so if you're going for a specific style, it's recommended not to wait until the last few days of the event.

Directly connected to Nagoya Station, can accommodate short stays.

Takashimaya Gate Tower Mall's advantage is its connection to Nagoya Station, meaning you don't need much extra travel time regardless of whether you're using the Shinkansen, JR, Meitetsu, or Kintetsu lines. If you're planning Nagoya as a transit point between Tokyo and Kansai, you can leave your luggage in a station locker, visit the 7th-floor exhibition and shopping area, and then head back to the station to catch your train.

This event can also be scheduled along with shopping around Nagoya Station. Gate Tower, JR Nagoya Takashimaya, the underground mall, and restaurants are all nearby. Those accompanying car fans can catch the pop-up, while other companions can go shopping or have coffee, making it very convenient to meet up. If you want a bit more of a Nagoya feel, you can also schedule miso katsu, Kishimen noodles, or a Nagoya-style coffee shop breakfast on the same day, turning the pop-up shop into one stop on your station area itinerary.

This pop-up is perfect for short stays in Nagoya, family trips, anime fans, and car enthusiasts. If you're just taking photos and buying souvenirs, 30 to 45 minutes should be sufficient. If you want to browse merchandise in detail, look for birthday keychains, or wait for photo opportunities, we recommend setting aside an hour. Initial D has high recognition in Taiwan, and having a real AE86 next to Nagoya Station is more like a mini-photo op that can be slotted into your itinerary for travelers than just a shopping experience.
