Three cities, three regional Special BOX products, three different prices — and almost nothing published in English about what’s actually inside any of them.
Pokemon Center is Japan’s chain of official Pokemon-branded retail stores, and it periodically sells store- or region-exclusive merchandise that never reaches standard TCG retail channels. The Hiroshima, Tohoku, and Fukuoka Special BOX products are three current examples of that model. What we can verify with confidence is what each one is currently listed at through our own stock. What we cannot verify — release date, exact contents, or whether either box functions as a sealed booster case versus a merchandise bundle — we’re not going to guess at here.
This guide lines the three boxes up side by side on the one dimension we can confirm cleanly: price. If you’re deciding between the three, that’s the practical starting point.
Three Pokemon Center regional Special BOX products are currently listed through our stock: Hiroshima at ¥17,200 (~$108), Tohoku at ¥15,450 (~$97), and Fukuoka at ¥15,200 (~$96). Exact contents and release dates for all three are not independently verifiable from public sources at time of writing, so we’re comparing them on price and what the “Special BOX” format generally means — not on a card-by-card breakdown.
Prices are our own listed prices as of September 2026, converted at ¥159/USD.
What Is a Pokemon Center Special BOX?
Pokemon Center operates as Japan’s official chain of Pokemon-branded retail stores, and part of its model is releasing store- or region-exclusive merchandise that isn’t distributed through general TCG retail. A “Special BOX” tied to a specific city or region — Hiroshima, Tohoku, Fukuoka — fits that pattern: a themed, geographically-branded product sold in limited retail channels rather than nationwide.
Here’s the part worth being upfront about: the product name is “Special BOX,” and in Japanese retail that term is commonly used for merchandise bundles rather than a straight sealed booster case of trading cards. We were not able to confirm which format applies to these three specific listings, so we’re not going to call them “booster boxes” and we’re not going to guess at contents, card counts, or included accessories. If you want the general background on what Pokemon Center Special BOX products are as a category, our existing Pokemon Center Regional Special Boxes guide covers that ground in more depth. This article’s job is narrower: a straight, three-way comparison of what we actually have listed, at what price, right now.
Price Comparison: Hiroshima vs Tohoku vs Fukuoka
Here’s how the three currently listed prices stack up, highest to lowest:
| 지역 | 상품 | Currently listed at |
|---|---|---|
| Hiroshima | Pokemon Center Hiroshima Special BOX | ¥17,200 (~$108) |
| Tohoku | Pokemon Center Tohoku Special BOX | ¥15,450 (~$97) |
| Fukuoka | Pokemon Center Fukuoka Special BOX | ¥15,200 (~$96) |
The gap between the top and bottom of that list is ¥2,000 (~$13), or roughly 13% from Fukuoka up to Hiroshima. We don’t have a sourced explanation for why the ordering falls the way it does — it could reflect scarcity, regional demand, or simply be a snapshot of current stock levels at the time of listing — so we’re not going to invent a reason. What we can say plainly is that if price is your deciding factor between the three, Fukuoka and Tohoku currently sit within ¥250 of each other, while Hiroshima is the clear outlier at the top.
Pokemon Center Hiroshima Special BOX
The Hiroshima Special BOX is the highest-priced of the three regional boxes we carry, currently listed at ¥17,200 (~$108). As with the other two boxes in this comparison, we were not able to independently verify a release date, official contents list, or launch MSRP through the sources available to us at time of writing — so we’re not stating any of those figures here.
What we can confirm is the listing itself and its price relative to the other two regional boxes covered in this guide. If you want a closer look at exactly what’s inside before ordering, the product listing itself is the most reliable place to check, since we’re not in a position to confirm contents details independently here.
Pokemon Center Tohoku Special BOX
The Tohoku Special BOX sits in the middle of the three, currently listed at ¥15,450 (~$97) — about ¥1,750 below Hiroshima and ¥250 above Fukuoka. Tohoku refers to the northeastern region of Japan’s main island, Honshu, and a regionally-branded Pokemon Center product tied to that area follows the same general store-exclusive model described above.
Again, we’re not attaching a contents list, card count, or release date to this listing — those details aren’t independently verifiable from the sources we checked, so we’re leaving them out rather than guessing.
Pokemon Center Fukuoka Special BOX
The Fukuoka Special BOX is the lowest-priced of the three, currently listed at ¥15,200 (~$96). Fukuoka is the largest city on Japan’s southern island of Kyushu, and like the Hiroshima and Tohoku listings, this is a regionally-branded Pokemon Center product sold through a limited retail channel rather than nationwide.
The price difference between Fukuoka and Tohoku is small — ¥250, or under 2% — so for most buyers the choice between those two will come down to which region’s branding you actually want, rather than cost.
What We Could Not Verify
To be transparent about the limits of this guide: we checked available card-database and Pokemon reference sources for release dates, official contents lists, and launch MSRP figures for all three regional Special BOX products, and none of that information came back verifiable through the tools available to us. Our own site has a general hub article on Pokemon Center Special BOX products, but we could not access its full body to check what it cites, so we’re not treating it as a source for this comparison either.
That means this guide deliberately does not state:
- An official release date for the Hiroshima, Tohoku, or Fukuoka box
- A card count, card list, or included-accessories list for any of the three
- Whether any of the three functions as a sealed booster case or a merchandise bundle
- A launch-price MSRP separate from what we currently have listed
If official documentation on any of these three products becomes available, we’ll fold it into an update. Until then, price and general category context are what we can stand behind.
Because contents aren’t independently confirmed here, check the product listing itself for whatever detail is provided there before you order, rather than relying on assumptions from other Pokemon Center products you may have seen.

자주 묻는 질문
What is a Pokemon Center Special BOX?
It’s a themed, region- or store-exclusive product sold through Pokemon Center, Japan’s official chain of Pokemon-branded retail stores, rather than through general TCG retail channels. The exact format — sealed cards versus a merchandise bundle — varies by product and is not independently confirmed for the Hiroshima, Tohoku, or Fukuoka boxes covered here.
Which regional Special BOX is the most expensive: Hiroshima, Tohoku, or Fukuoka?
Hiroshima is currently the highest-priced of the three at ¥17,200 (~$108), followed by Tohoku at ¥15,450 (~$97) and Fukuoka at ¥15,200 (~$96). We don’t have a sourced explanation for why Hiroshima sits above the other two.
Are these Special BOX products the same as sealed booster boxes?
We can’t confirm that either way. “Special BOX” is commonly used in Japanese retail for merchandise bundles as well as sealed card products, and we were not able to verify which applies to these three specific listings, so we don’t describe them as booster boxes.
Do you ship Pokemon Center regional Special BOX products outside Japan?
Yes, we ship from Tokyo with tracked delivery worldwide. Check the individual product listing for current shipping details.
Where can I check the contents of the Hiroshima, Tohoku, or Fukuoka Special BOX before ordering?
The product listing itself is the most reliable place to check, since we were not able to independently verify a full contents list for any of the three through the sources available to us for this guide.
