Since its establishment, Hareruya has been synonymous with Magic: The Gathering in Japan. Hareruya takes pride in its extensive inventory, which includes cards from throughout the history of the games, along with rare collectibles.

What to expect:

The Hareruya Tournament Center Tokyo in Takadanobaba is dedicated to providing a spot for gamers to meet and play. Housing a 300-seat free play space, it’s one of the largest game centers in the country as well as a WPN Premium store and home to on-site Teaching Meisters.

Don’t get this store confused with the recently-opened Hareruya #3 store in Takadanobaba which is a Duel Masters specialty store.

Suggested Activity
Experience the Traditional Art of Kintsugi
Looking for something different? Try a kintsugi class in Tokyo. Kintsugi is the art of repairing old pottery with gold. In this one-hour workshop, you'll learn the delicate art of gold repair, and create your own unique souvenir to take home. You'll even dress in samue, the traditional outfit of craftsmen.

Each Hareruya store offers a user-friendly website and in-store collection system with English support, making it easier to find specific cards. Customers can search for cards online and choose between delivery or in-store pickup. The in-store showcases are worth exploring, as they occasionally offer rare items at significantly discounted prices. The staff highly recommend participating in their gacha events, which are lucky prize draws where participants can win rare cards, accessories, and more.

For those interested in board games, there are also resources available for that. Alternatively, if you’re looking to indulge your anime fandom, there are plenty of activities to enjoy in Akihabara.
