Description

Meet your guide at the north exit of JR Nakano Station. After a short introduction and overview of the tour, set off into Nakano’s hidden maze. Stroll through Nakano’s bustling shopping arcade, lined with local snack stands and retro stores. Stop by capsule toy shops and try your luck with gachapon machines, a fun part of everyday Japanese pop culture. Dive into the legendary Nakano Broadway, a labyrinth filled with vintage anime figures, horror collectibles, second-hand curiosities, and oddball treasures from around the world. Your guide will help you spot quirky and nostalgic items — and perhaps even hidden gems of surprising value. Take a break with too tall soft cream or café sweets in a retro Showa-era atmosphere. A perfect moment to relax and soak in Nakano’s nostalgic side. For those who wish to continue, head into Nakano’s famous izakaya street. Step into a cozy local bar or lively izakaya where residents gather, enjoy a drink (alcoholic or soft), and experience Nakano’s hidden nightlife charm. Return toward Nakano Station. Share your favorite discoveries from the tour — whether it’s the strangest find or the most nostalgic memory — before saying goodbye.
