Meet Iisaka Station, a heartfelt corner of Charlies Collectible Show founded by the passionate and dedicated Forrest Reed. Forrest’s journey into Japanese culture began early in life, studying language, animation, and traditions under the guidance of Tim Cook, or チっム先生. This love grew into Iisaka Station, a shop inspired by Forrest’s warm memories of his host family, the Iisakas, in Japan.

Iisaka Station isn’t just a store — it’s a community space where Forrest brings a taste of Japan to life. Whether you’re looking for rare manga, traditional handmade dishware, plushies, model kits, or cosplay essentials, Iisaka Station is filled with treasures to spark joy in every fan of Japanese culture. Forrest’s collection spans a wide range of prices and styles, inviting enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds to find something special.

In addition to the incredible products, Forrest is excited to offer a few exclusive community events. He plans to host an 8-week Japanese language course for beginners every Wednesday and Sunday before closing and dreams of sponsoring a “Popcorn and Anime” night, where fans can gather to watch Japanese anime classics on a big screen. 🍿📽️

Whether you’re a Digimon or Gundam fan, a lover of Japanese games, or just exploring the world of anime, Iisaka Station invites everyone to stop by, chat, and explore. Forrest is dedicated to fostering a friendly and generous atmosphere, where customers’ suggestions, requests, and advice are always welcome. For him, Iisaka Station is not just a business; it’s a community project designed to bring people together over the great works of Japanese culture.
