What other travelers are saying about Nakano Broadway
Great place if you are shopping for rare collectibles, trading cards and toys! There are various shops selling new and used goods, and you will easily spend a few hours here. There is even a Mandarake here as well. There are also cafes and eateries here if you need a meal and break from shopping.
Visited in November 2024.
Shopping complex made up of predominantly toy, collectibles and high-end used and new watch shops so lots of watch and toy hunters. The basement level also has food, drug and grocery stores. The food alley which leads to Nagano Broadway from the train station will help fuel your shopping trip.
Floors filled with watches, nostalgia, anime, manga, or whatever else piques your interest. You could easily spend the entire day here. Whether you are searching for a vintage Godzilla figure or a pristine birth year Rolex with its box and papers, this is the place to visit! Dining options include those within the mall as well as outside on Broadway.
It's honestly even better than Akihabara in some regards, If you're willing to spend time looking, you can find many things that you wouldn't even be able to find elsewhere, and when shopping for otaku goods in particular I was shocked at how much better the deals were here in comparison to other places!
If you're serious about finding some obscure stuff, you'll more likely to find it in here than akiba.
The place itself is very chill. Not a lot of tourist. The mandarake is less cramped than their akiba branch. And the selection seems to be a tad better. Tax free reimbursement on the 4th floor.
