animate Beijing is officially relocating to the iconic Wangfujing Street area—the absolute heart of Beijing’s tourism and commercial scene. This isn't just a simple move; the shop is undergoing a massive expansion and grand renewal, set to open its doors on June 26, 2026!
By planting its flag in one of Beijing's most legendary shopping districts, the new and improved animate Beijing aims to be a premier destination. Whether you're a local regular or a tourist exploring the city's sights, this store is being built to be the ultimate pitstop for your otaku needs.
But wait, there’s more! In addition to the character goods fans have come to love, the new location will finally introduce a dedicated book section. Even more exciting? They are currently preparing to launch "Gratte"—Animate’s signature cafe service that offers drinks and "graphic lattes" featuring exclusive collaborations with popular anime titles. Keep your eyes peeled for more details as they drop!
