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.

Description
Shiinamachi Station was inspired by the quiet charm of Japan's neighborhood train stations, places shaped not by grandeur, but by warmth, familiarity, and the rhythm of everyday life.
In creating this set, we wanted to capture the feeling of standing before a real station in Tokyo and noticing the subtle details that make it memorable, from its signage and layered architecture to the atmosphere that surrounds it. It is our tribute to urban Japan and the understated beauty of places with stories quietly built into them.
A Premium Brick Building Experience
Designed for collectors and serious builders, Shiinamachi Station is a substantial 3,143-piece project that rewards patience and precision. Unlike our wooden kits, this is a pure modular brick build, offering a different kind of tactile satisfaction. The included LED lighting package integrates seamlessly into the structure, bringing the finished scene to life with realistic warmth and ambience. Simply follow the three instruction booklets and watch a slice of Tokyo emerge under your hands.
From Box to a Tokyo Neighborhood
Set aside 20 to 30 hours to lose yourself in the architecture. The depth of this set is extraordinary. Lined along the street are softly glowing lamps that bring the unmistakable atmosphere of a quiet Tokyo evening. Hidden behind the structure is a familiar slice of local life, complete with iconic vending machines and a neighborhood convenience mart. Nestled into the scene is Uonami Fish Bar, a cozy eatery that brings the spirit of the evening streets to life. When you plug in the USB cable and the neon signboard illuminates the station, you will understand why this is a display-worthy centerpiece.
Craft with Complete Confidence
We know a premium 3,000-piece brick set is an investment in your time. That is why our Completion Guarantee exists. If a brick is missing or anything goes wrong during your build, we will replace the part for free. Take your time, enjoy the craftsmanship, and trust that your piece of Tokyo is guaranteed.
Plug in the lights. Find the fish bar. Step into Shiinamachi.

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?
Yes. ANAVRIN® ships worldwide with tracked delivery.

United States: 4–7 business days
United Kingdom and Europe: 4–7 business days
Canada: 4–9 business days
Australia: 4–7 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 Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 9806 reviews.
Always enjoy these kits, very tiny peices, cut and printed well, love the lights and stickers.
Really enjoyed putting this together and would recommend. I added a few different options or additions.
J’ai passé un excellent moment à tout assembler!! Hâte de recommander un kit🥹🤍
Another great book nook from Anavrin showcasing the historic Bukchon Hanok village neighborhood in Seoul that includes traditional South Korean houses and the iconic Seoul tower as a backdrop. Dark-tiled curved roofs, and wood-and-stone architecture contrasted against the backdrop of modern city skyscrapers. Fun to put together and the finished product is timeless.
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!
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!
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.

Jammer dat sommige delen niet goed in elkaar paste.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
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.
Hands down, the best one yet! So much attention to detail, little hidden nooks, and a rewarding experience all round. The pieces fit together well.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
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.
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.
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!
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.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
This is so much fun I just love it. People look at it and are fascinated by the detail! I am working on the cat crossing which is a little harder but fun too. I have ordered my next project!
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
I love it. It was so fun to make. The only problem I had was a little piece broke off where the battery pack is inserted. I think this is my favorite one so far again I love it.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
On sent que les matériaux sont de très grande qualité, et l'expérience de montage est géniale. Le rendu final est magnifique.
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.
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.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
Fun to build, and the pieces seemed well-constructed. This was my first piece and now I want to build more.
This was one of my favorite builds. The detail to all the different pieces is amazing! The directions for the wiring was a little confusing but overall it was a good time.
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.
Great craft to spend time with on the weekends! Took my mind off work for quite some time. The instructions were easy to follow and everything was clearly labelled. Looking forward to my next purchase already (:
This was one of my favorite kits I’ve ever done. The quality is amazing, and the instructions are easy to follow.
다른 북눅킷에 비해 바닥 고정이 잘 안되네요..반 정도 하부가 떠 있어야 기둥을 세웠을 때 고정이 되는데..이 제품은 정말 짜증납니다..부셨습니다..

Magnifique, j’ai adoré la construction !
This was a fun build. The drink dispenser and the food details are so awesome. The middle lighting with the globes was my favorite detail. Great experience!
처음 시도한 책북미니어처인데..은근히 빠져드는 매력이 있네요..이것저것 부러져서 글루를 써서 다시 만들고..우여곡절 끝에 완성했는데 보람은 있네요
Muy buen diseño y súper entretenido de realizar el montaje. El envío llegó en el tiempo indicado.
Muy buen producto!!! Calidad,super entretenido y muy bonito. Volvere a repetir con otra compra.
Beautifull!
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
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.
Great experience setting it up. Ive ordered over 15 booknooks or builds from various companies but this was by far the best. Really good quality and the instructions are so clear, it was a joy to set this up.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
I really enjoy putting these together. The detail is great, assembly is kind of zen, and the final product is super cool.
Zelfs de hond en kat wilden ook mee bouwen 😁 Heerlijk uren aan het freubelen geweest en heel blij met het resultaat! Zo leuk!
spend 6 hours together with my oldest offspring making this masterpiece :-)
In progress. The kit is super cute and made with quality materials. The circuit board and lights weren’t working but they are sending me a replacement. Very good customer service. This is my 2nd kit and I have another already purchased.
Love spending my spare time building these great looking little book nooks and all parts fit well together
