Still bought a few there for our Honda die-cast collection Basically a whole floor of a shopping centre dedicated to models, toys, anime, manga, and different memorabilia. Also found a great arcade with the latest installment of the Densha De Go series. Had a go and recorded a video, but need to upload those to YT first.
In hindsight, I wish I spent more time taking details photos of the stock available and their displays. I have a few videos that I need to upload to Youtube, but still I realise I could've done a lot more.
Usually Nakano Broadway was the goto place for a lot of hobby things, but I think as of late, Akihabara and Ikeburo is starting to cater more for hobby stuff.
Not sure when this picture was taken, but there was a recent article on how Nakano Broadway didn't have as much stuff as before as a lot of Chinese tourists were taking the opportunity due to Japan's weakening yen, especially when it was over 150-160s...It's now back under 145 which is good for Japan (still bad but better than it was these last 3-4 months.
