Crafted in every detail:

The Everyday Charm of Japan’s Konbinis

From illuminated storefront signs and display counters to stocked shelves and everyday street details, each convenience store is carefully built to capture the familiar character of Tokyo’s neighbourhood konbinis.

Lighted Neon Signboard

Mounted above the structure is a glowing neon signboard that adds depth, character, and the unmistakable vibrance of Tokyo after dark.

Glowing Street Lamps

Lined along the street are softly glowing lamps that bring warmth, depth, and the unmistakable atmosphere of a quiet Tokyo evening.

Uonami Fish Bar (海鮮酒場 魚波 椎名町港)

Nestled into the scene is Uonami Fish Bar, a cozy local eatery that brings warmth, story, and the spirit of Tokyo’s evening streets to life.

Iconic Vending Machines & Convenient Store

Hidden behind the structure is a familiar slice of Tokyo life, complete with iconic vending machines and a neighborhood convenience mart familiar to anyone who has wandered Japan’s streets.

Designed by artists. Brought to life by you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before bringing Shiinamachi Station to life.

Is Shiinamachi Station suitable for first-time brick builders?

Shiinamachi Station is rated Intermediate. You do not need to be an expert, but some previous brick-building experience will be helpful due to its 3,143-piece construction and integrated lighting.

Three detailed instruction booklets are included to guide you through the build step by step. We recommend taking your time and completing it across several relaxed building sessions.

How long does it take to complete?

The estimated assembly time is approximately 20 to 30 hours, depending on your building experience and pace.

It is designed to be a substantial, rewarding project rather than a quick one-session build.

What makes Shiinamachi Station different from a typical brick set?

Shiinamachi Station is an original ANAVRIN® design, developed in-house and available exclusively through ANAVRIN®.

Rather than recreating a simplified building façade, the set brings together a complete Tokyo streetscape with layered architecture, illuminated storefronts, konbinis, railway details, overhead cables, rooftop structures and hidden neighbourhood elements.

With 3,143 pieces, integrated lighting and a substantial finished size, it is designed to be equally rewarding to build and impressive to display.

Are the bricks compatible with other building-brick systems?

Yes. The bricks are compatible with major building-brick systems, allowing you to connect additional pieces, customise the scene or incorporate Shiinamachi Station into a larger display.

Everything required to complete the original design is already included in the set, so additional bricks are not necessary.

Are the lights included?

Yes. Four LED lighting packages are included to illuminate the station, storefronts, street lamps and surrounding architectural details.

The lighting system is powered through a USB cable, so batteries are not required. Simply connect it to a compatible USB power source to bring the completed scene to life.

What is included in the box?

Your set includes:

3,143 building bricks
Three instruction booklets
Four LED lighting packages
One brick remover
Decorative stickers

You will also need access to a compatible USB power source to operate the lighting.

How large is the completed model?

Once completed, Shiinamachi Station measures approximately:

14.6 inches high
13.3 inches wide
11.8 inches long

The finished model weighs approximately 5.2 kg, giving it a substantial presence on a shelf, cabinet or display table.

We recommend checking your intended display space before beginning the build.

What age is the set recommended for?

Shiinamachi Station is recommended for builders aged 14 and above due to its smaller pieces, detailed construction and lighting installation.

Younger builders may still enjoy the experience with guidance and assistance from an adult.

What happens if a piece is missing or damaged?

You are covered by our Completion Guarantee.

Should any piece arrive missing, damaged or defective, our support team will arrange a free replacement. We will also assist if you accidentally damage a part during assembly, so you can complete your build with confidence.

Do you ship internationally?

United Kingdom and Europe: 4–7 business days
Canada: 4–9 business days

Will I need to pay additional duties or taxes?

There should be no unexpected duty charges when your order arrives.

Can I return the set if I change my mind?

Customer photo review of Bukchon Hanok Village Book Nook Kit

It was challenging. This one took a lot more glue than others. Thank goodness for the spare parts. The switch is working well, but needs to be tightened once in a while.

Customer photo review of Seoul Hipjiro Book Nook Kit

The end result is beautiful! But there were a few things I wasn’t crazy about. The first being that there is a great deal of ” Fussy work” Involving very tiny pieces of plastic that were not the easiest to work with, if you’re older.. I love the lighting. The one thing I disliked outright was at the beginning: you had to add the back piece and it did nothing but keep falling over throughout the entire build. It drove me crazy. But the end result was spectacular! My son will love it. Thank you Anvarin!

Customer photo review of Old Shanghai Book Nook Kit

This is my third Anavrin build and I can honestly say I consider this my legacy piece. It’s my Hands-down favorite kit that I’ve ever assembled. The quality and detail is astonishing! I had no problems. The wiring was perfect in terms of fit and length and the pieces are made of thick wood and beautifully detailed acrylic. I would rate this an intermediate to advanced kit, but if you just follow the very clear directions, I think most anyone could do it. This is my all-time favorite company. I’m getting ready to build the Seoul Kit, next. Thank you, Anavrin. Your kits cost a little more but they are worth every penny!

Customer photo review of Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition

Loved it & looks amazing finished. Looks like a piece of art and all the tiny details are amazing. Instructions were very clear and easy to understand. Had so much fun building it, though it did only take 6-7 hours. Sadly one of my deers was broken, but it looks good without it too. The touch-power button did not work well, but I tried adding some aluminium foil and it seems to work better.. Wish the music box played something more fantasy-ish music, but it sounds nice.

What a great build. The product quality is top notch. So many details to contribute to the story. The outside walls tell a story too. The lighting was very easy to follow.

Customer photo review of Lijiang Ancient Town Book Nook Kit

This was a challenging build! That being said, if you take your time and are patient You will be blown away at the end just as I was! This kit is the highest quality of any kit. I’ve built to date.. The directions were clear, although somehow I messed up and can’t get the dust cover on the front. But building the lanterns and assembling the umbrellas really took the build to another level. I would consider myself experienced and it still took me several days at 5 to 6 hours a day. It’s worth the time and the money. I would recommend this over any other brand and I have built them all.

Customer photo review of Cats Crossing Book Nook Kit

Cat's crossing was so much fun to put together! The greenery was great and added a good touch to the overall aesthetic. I love that you can arrange the books however you want. This detail makes it easy to create a unique look for yourself. The only problem I have had is with the on/off button. It doesn't work when installed. It works when not installed though. Still a fun build and a good looking finish.

Customer photo review of Ikseon-dong Hanok Bakery Miniature House Kit

Best experience I’ve had building a book nook, the pieces fit together so well and the instructions were incredibly clear thanks to the large colour printing. I added a few extra customisations just to make it my own and I absolutely love how it turned out!

Customer video review of Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition

What a centerpiece! I adore it. Turned out so well. Very enchanting and it was so much fun to embellish with various static grasses and vines I had on hand. I caked the tree with the fake grass by using B-7000 glue and dipping the tree in it. I also used some of the fiber fill from the deer boxes on the waterfall ridge for a misty mountain effect.

Customer photo review of Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition

This was a difficult build to be honest. Some very fiddly parts. I had some fit issues and some of the instructions were not very clear. I feel like I had to use a lot more glue than in previous builds. The on/off switch doesn't work when installed. It is a gorgeous end product though. I enjoyed the overall experience.

Customer photo review of Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition

This was really fun to build! It’s so cool to have a music box with the beautiful lights that showcase this magical little world. The only reason I have this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the specs seem to be a bit off at the base. The music box will get stuck because there isn’t enough clearance between the base that it’s contained in so you have to jiggle the box a bit to get the music box to continue playing through.

Customer photo review of Kyoto Gion Book Nook Kit

Only really getting into the meat of the kit, but I am enjoying the challenge. It’s not easy, and you have to concentrate, but that’s great for stress relief. The detailing is great, the pieces are superbly cut from the boards, and the look is quality. I’ll do another after Kyoto.

Customer video review of Ikseon-dong Hanok Bakery Miniature House Kit

One of my favourites! A really beautifully crafted book nook. Every miniature detail feels intentional, from the warm architectural textures to the delicate bread displays, creating a truly immersive scene. The build quality is excellent, with clean components and a satisfying assembly process. Once completed, it becomes a stunning display piece that adds depth and character to any shelf or reading space, especially when illuminated, where it truly comes to life.

This wooden Book Nook is an absolute masterpiece! Every detail has been thoughtfully designed, capturing the atmosphere, architecture, and nostalgic beauty of a bygone era. The craftsmanship is exceptional. The wooden pieces fit together perfectly, and the intricate decorations create an incredibly immersive scene. The warm lighting adds a magical touch, making the entire display come alive, especially in the evening. I cannot recommend this Book Nook highly enough. It combines creativity, craftsmanship, nostalgia, and cultural charm in a truly unforgettable way.

This is my 5th Anavrin build, and this one was absolutely the best to build. The challenge of working with fake grass for the first time was very exciting and fun to do. I hope Anavrin designs more of these adventure builds, our science fiction builds. Kind regards, Fons, Belgium
