*[Tokyo's subculture mecca: Enjoy otaku heaven at Nakano Hyakuroukai!]**

#TokyoConquest * Nakano Hyakuroukai, located at the north exit of Nakano Station, just a 5-minute train ride from Shinjuku, is one of Japan's largest anime and subculture meccas. Opened in 1966, the building was once a luxury apartment building, and is now known for its larger selection than Akihabara, with second-hand manga shops, including Mandarake, figure shops, and model shops lining the 2nd to 4th floors. **Places to see**: - Mandarake: A dreamlike space lined with rare manga manuscripts and Sailor Moon paintings - MANDARAKE Henya: A toy store with a retro Showa-era atmosphere - Plastic: A wide selection of cute dolls and cosplay goods **Access**: A 5-minute walk from the north exit of JR Nakano Station. There is a supermarket and restaurants on the basement floor, so you can enjoy yourself all day long. This town is filled with items that tickle the otaku heart, and is an irresistible place for subculture lovers. Please note that taking photos may be prohibited at some stores.
