At a Glance
Nakano Broadway is a shopping complex in Nakano, Tokyo, that opened in 1966 as a mixed block of shops and apartments. It has three basement levels and ten floors above ground. The ground floor sells mainly clothing and second-hand goods, and the second to fourth floors hold shops for manga, anime goods, figurines, idol merchandise, video games, CDs and collectables.
The mall began as a luxury shopping complex, but by the 1980s it had lost ground to Shibuya and Roppongi. Mandarake, a second-hand manga shop, opened here in 1980, and other shops for enthusiasts followed. The company now runs twenty-seven shops in the building, each focused on one kind of item, such as cosplay costumes or doujinshi. The design has changed little since 1966, and Sun Mall, a glass-covered arcade of about 225 meters, links the building to Nakano Station.
