What it is
Surugaya Akihabara Main Store is the flagship Akihabara branch of Surugaya, one of Japan's largest used-hobby chains, on Akihabara's so-called "Junk Alley." It spans several floors of secondhand and new merchandise: anime goods, character figures, retro and current video games, trading cards, plastic models and other collectibles.
Surugaya buys as well as sells, so stock rotates constantly and prices vary widely — a strong stop for hunting discounted or out-of-print figures, games and merch under one roof, with the same catalogue available on its online store.
