Building hours

There are no building-wide hours; each floor opens on its own schedule. The only tenant open through the day is the CoCo Bubble Tea shop on 1F (11:00-22:00) — the Western-food restaurant on 2F is currently suspended — so most of the building is shut until late afternoon. Magical Twintail on 6F/7F opens earliest at 14:00-22:00 daily; Rabbit Castle on 8F and Sweet Cat on 10F run 17:00-23:00 on weekdays and 15:00-23:00 at weekends and on public holidays; The Seven Deadly Sins on 4F runs 18:00-24:00 on weekdays and 17:00-24:00 at weekends and on public holidays. Many of the tenants publish no regular closing day, so check the hours on each store card before going.

Getting there

From the JR Akihabara Electric Town Exit (電気街口), walk about 300 m north along Chuo-dori, four to five minutes. Pass animate Akihabara and Don Quijote Akihabara (the AKB48 Theater is on its 8F), turn right (east) into the side street immediately north of Don Quijote and go about 40 m: the narrow ten-storey tower on the corner where the street meets Akiba Tashiro-dori (アキバ田代通り) is A-FRONT. The CoCo Bubble Tea (CoCo都可) shop on 1F is the landmark, and the narrow entrance beside it carries the floor-by-floor concept-cafe signboard and the elevator. From exit 1 of Suehirocho on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line it is 4 minutes south along Chuo-dori.
