It&#8217;s really the sort of building that would seem more at home in Akihabara. Pictured is a typical example of the sort of store you&#8217;d find near the middle levels. This one sells gashapon (capsule toys) and rents out display cabinets for people to sell, auction or just show off their stuff. <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"DSC00169.JPG\" width=\"404\" height=\"539\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span class=\"style16\">Here&#8217;s one of the idol specialty stores.

I would have taken some more photos, but the shopkeepers didn&#8217;t seem all that happy about it. There&#8217;s a <em>Mandarake <\/em>second hand  doujinshi store just around the corner from here which has all sorts of good stuff that the big outlets in Akihabara no longer carry. <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"DSC00172.JPG\" width=\"404\" height=\"539\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">This building is just a big triangular wedge. My guess is that it&#8217;s just a parking lot or something, but it bears a striking resemblence to a missile silo. <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/td>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nakano Nakano Broadway is a large shopping complex in the west end of Tokyo with a wide variety of shops that cater to niche audiences.
