Description
During one of our team trips to Tokyo, one of our team members wandered through Omoide Yokocho, a lively and narrow alleyway nestled in the heart of Shinjuku. The intoxicating mix of smoky air, the warmth of glowing lanterns, and the hum of conversation from the cozy izakayas and bars struck a chord deeply. The chaos was charming, the energy contagious.

What Makes It Special
Because you’re not just building an alley, you’re reliving a memory.
The sizzle of yakitori, the hum of chatter, and the warm glow of lanterns, all come alive in this cozy slice of Tokyo.
Before You Step Into Tokyo’s Memory Lane…
Everything you need to know before you bring Tokyo’s nostalgic alleyways to life.
What is the Omoide Yokocho Book Nook Kit?
Step into the glowing backstreets of Tokyo’s Shinjuku district, affectionately known as “Memory Lane.” The Omoide Yokocho Book Nook Kit captures the charm of Tokyo’s tiny izakayas, lantern-lit alleys, and nostalgic night scenes. From stacked beer crates to glowing signboards, every detail brings this iconic alleyway to life on your bookshelf.
Does it come with working lights? How does it work?
Yes, every ANAVRIN kit comes with fully functional LED lights that bring your miniature world to life. Each kit includes a pre-wired lighting system with clear instructions showing exactly where to place and connect each light. Once assembled, simply insert 2 × AAA batteries into the battery box, switch it on, and watch your creation glow with warmth and realism. The gentle illumination adds a beautiful, cozy ambiance, perfect for nighttime display or as a unique decorative lamp.
Is it beginner-friendly?
Yes, it’s perfect for beginners and experienced builders alike. Every wooden piece is pre-colored, precisely cut, and numbered for easy assembly. The average build time is about 4 to 6 hours, making it an ideal weekend project to unwind and get creative. No painting or soldering is required, just patience and curiosity.
What’s included inside the box?
Everything you need to recreate Tokyo’s famous alley scene. The kit includes pre-colored wooden pieces, an LED lighting set with USB cable, a detailed English instruction manual, a protective dust cover, and all the miniature décor such as vending machines, lanterns, and beer crates.
(Glue and batteries are not included due to shipping restrictions.)
What makes Anavrin’s kits special?
Every ANAVRIN design is inspired by a real place and crafted with museum-quality realism. Omoide Yokocho captures the smoky warmth of Tokyo’s narrow backstreets, where laughter fills the air and the scent of grilled yakitori lingers. It’s not just a miniature kit, it’s a memory you can build and relive every time you light it up.
Can I gift it to someone?
Absolutely, and they’ll remember it forever. Each kit arrives beautifully packaged and makes a thoughtful gift for Japan lovers, crafters, and collectors.
✨ 97% of our customers said this was the best gift they’ve received in a long time, offering hours of joy, peace, and nostalgia in one box.
What if I break or lose a piece?
Don’t worry! Our team can send replacement parts so your Omoide Yokocho stays complete and beautiful. Just reach out to us and we’ll take care of it.
Do I need any extra tools?
You’ll only need a few simple tools, a silicone-based craft glue and a pair of scissors or tweezers. Everything else you need is already included in the kit.
Are these suitable for children?
Most of our kits are best suited for ages 10 and above, though many parents tell us their 6 to 8-year-olds have a wonderful time building together. It’s a fun, screen-free way to spend quality time as a family while sparking creativity and imagination.
