MANDARAKE - Rulers of Time on Japan-Sunday

It's Japan-Sunday, so today I present to you a great shop in Japan, it's MANDARAKE!!!

Mandarake is a shop for preowned articles of any otaku kind, they offer anime, manga, games, CDs, DVDs, figurines, artbooks, dojinshis.

The first shop opened in 1980 in Nakano (Tokyo), there are other shops in Tokyo: Akihabara, Shibuya & Ikebukuro.

In Nakano Broadway there are several stores

Akihabara - HUGE Building

Throughout Japan there's one in Osaka, Fukuoka and other cities.

Manga

To give you preview how it looks inside and what they offer, here are some pictures:

Hard to understand the different sections

Also many strange and also fascinating articles

 

If you're on a trip to Japan, especially Tokyo, you deffinitely have to visit one of the Mandarake Stores, I normally find something everytime, Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest figurines, some old retro games and guide books and video game artbooks are my favorite.

They also offer many old STAR WARS articles - 2010 I saw a Light Saber replica signed by Samual L. Jackson for 80,000 Yen (600+ $)

That's it for Japan-Sunday, see you soon.
