There is no denying that the Tokyo Starfish name is super random. It started as an inside joke while the owners were on a snowboarding trip to Japan. On a layover in Tokyo, through unusual circumstances, one of them became a “starfish” in the middle of the road, lying on his back, limbs outstretched.

From then forward, The Tokyo Starfish was born.

Obviously, the name stuck. Now Tokyo Starfish has aged into a fond memory of our shared backgrounds in action sports, our lifelong friendship, and a reminder to never take ourselves too seriously. 

The Shops:

Our dispensaries are the mainspring of Tokyo Starfish’s unique cannabis shopping experience. From the moment you walk into one of our shops, you feel relaxed and welcomed. The service is first-rate and informative. Like your best friend is behind the counter. Our inventory has something for everyone without being overwhelming.

The design of our storefronts is rooted in our personal experiences. In each of our shops, there are nostalgic mementos from our pasts and things that inspire us while on the go. Surfboards that our friends have shaped, our favorite vintage snowboards hanging on the walls, and photographs that keep us on the go. In this environment, we like to inspire customers to go on their own adventures (and maybe smoke some weed along the way).
