Havikoro Toy

A standout among Nakano Broadway’s dozens of collectible shops, Havikoro Toy specializes in the kind of items that reward the careful browser: rubber charms, acrylic stands, badges, and a particularly strong selection of gachapon toys and keychains. Unlike the capsule machines out front where you gamble on what you get, the items here are individually priced and displayed — so you know exactly what you’re taking home.

The prices are a genuine find. A metro keychain that sells for 6,000 yen in Akihabara can turn up here for 1,500 yen. For figure collectors and anime fans hunting a specific piece, it’s one of the first floors worth checking. The shop sits on the 3rd floor of Nakano Broadway, within easy walking distance of Mandarake’s many specialty stores.

How to get there

Walk through the Sun Mall shotengai from the north exit of Nakano Station and follow it all the way to Nakano Broadway. Take the escalators or stairs to the 3rd floor.
