“Another otaku's haunt ”

Akihabara is known for otaku culture but if you have already been there or feel too touristy, Nakano Broadway is an alternative. Located in a shopping mall next to the JR Nakano station, this seemingly ‘60s commercial building housing small retail stores that sell manga products cater to otaku people along with clothes vendors targeting local elderly people. It has a special old atmosphere that makes local Japanese people feel nostalgic.
