Start your adventure in Nakano by walking through the Sun Mall shopping street until you end up at the Nakano Broadway complex where you can browse through at least 30 Mandarake stores. Mandarake is THE pre-owned comic book dealer in Tokyo since 1987. Every Mandarake store has a different theme. For the most unique Mandarake store head to the 3rd floor where you can enter a special shrine that sells vintage tin toys.
Just a stop away from Shinjuku, Nakano is a quiet neighborhood best known for Nakano Broadway, a mall lined with current and vintage shops selling anime merchandise — most notably from secondhand giant Mandarake. For those unable to find what they want at Akihabara, this is the place to be. Anime and manga lovers know Akihabara as the mecca of all things animated in Japan, but fewer know that Nakano can hold its own as well. With comics, clothes, and figurines spread over three floors, there is no shortage of goods for even the most hardcore fans.
