Campaign Features
Each store sells only 1 of the 5
You can't drink all 5 at a single store. To get the menu you want, you have to visit a store that's actually serving it.
No phone inquiries
Starbucks Japan officially asks customers not to call stores to check stock. You need to check the official website's store search page directly.

Coffee Jelly Frappuccino has ended early
As of late April 2026, the oldest of the 5 — the 2008 "Coffee Jelly Frappuccino" — is no longer carried at any Tokyo store. So the realistically drinkable lineup is 4.
Tokyo 4 Landmarks × Frappuccino Course
1️⃣ Shibuya Scramble Square Tsutaya × Melon Frappuccino
This is the Starbucks inside the TSUTAYA BOOKSTORE at Shibuya Scramble Square — the same building as the Shibuya Sky observatory overlooking the Shibuya Scramble crossing.
It's a calm space, good for a quiet moment with a book. Even though it's right above the Shibuya intersection, you feel cleanly separated from the noise.
| Hours | 10:00–23:00 |
| Seats | 52 |
| Location | Shibuya Scramble Square 11F 📍 View on Google Maps |
💎 Melon Frappuccino Tall ¥750 (caffeine-free)
When this drink launched in 2022, it caused a stir for using more fruit pulp than any Frappuccino in Starbucks Japan history. Aromatic Akaniku melon flesh is layered over a melon base with melon whipped cream — like biting into a fully ripe melon, with a heavy fruit body throughout.
2️⃣ Kokyo Gaien Wadakura Fountain Park × Cookie Frappuccino
A special branch sitting inside Wadakura Fountain Park (和田倉噴水公園), part of Kokyo Gaien.
The store is wrapped by greenery, the fountain, and a quiet stretch of castle wall — it doesn't feel like central Tokyo at all. Highly recommended if you're looking for a downtown healing café.
| Hours | 07:00–21:00 |
| Seats | 70 |
| Location | Inside Wadakura Fountain Park 📍 View on Google Maps |
💎 Cookie Frappuccino Tall ¥700
A whole chocolate-chunk cookie blended into a vanilla base. Topped with slow-roasted chocolate and crispy whole-wheat-blend cookie pieces — there's a real bite to it down to the last sip.
3️⃣ Asakusa Kaminarimon × Hojicha Frappuccino
This Starbucks sits right next to Asakusa's iconic Kaminarimon. Visitors heading to Sensoji (浅草寺) come and go nonstop.
📌 Tip. The Nakamise-dori (仲見世通り) shopping street that runs from Kaminarimon up to Sensoji mostly closes around 6 p.m. Visit in the afternoon for the full experience.
| Hours | 07:00–22:00 |
| Location | 📍 View on Google Maps |
💎 Hojicha Frappuccino ¥730
A Japanese-style Frappuccino built on a base of first-flush hojicha tea leaves, with chewy warabi mochi added in. The roasty depth of the hojicha plays off the soft, sticky bite of the warabi mochi.
4️⃣ Tokyo Skytree Solamachi East 6F × Yogurt Frappuccino
This branch is on the 6th floor of the Solamachi East wing inside the Tokyo Skytree shopping complex.
📌 Tip. The window faces the Skytree itself. After sunset, drinking it next to the Skytree light-up gives you a special evening view.
| Hours | 10:00–22:30 |
| Seats | 110 |
| Location | Tokyo Skytree Solamachi East 6F 📍 View on Google Maps |
💎 Yogurt Frappuccino ¥730 (caffeine-free)
Strawberry, yellow peach, orange, and white peach — 4 fruit jellies on a yogurt base, finished with the crunch of deeply roasted almonds. More of a dessert than a drink.
Starbucks Japan 30th Anniversary Limited Goods
Special limited goods are also being released to mark the 30th anniversary.
The key point: the lineup restores the original 1996 logo from when Starbucks first landed in Japan.
