Overview

Join a local guide to explore Nakano, a neighbourhood where Japanese subcultures and everyday local life come together. Just a 5-minute train ride from Shinjuku, Nakano Broadway is a must-see destination for anime and manga fans, filled with rare figures, vintage collectibles, and nostalgic charm.

Most of the tour takes place indoors, so you can enjoy it comfortably even on hot, cold, or rainy days. After diving into Japan’s pop culture scene, we’ll take you through Nakano’s retro alleyways and lively izakaya district, a taste of old Tokyo that tourists rarely get to see.
