Building hours
There are no building-wide hours; the floors split into day and night. The card shops are daytime: Mach Suehirocho on 1F 11:30-19:30, TCG GATE on 2F 12:00-20:00 (buyback counter until 19:00), Toreka BH on 7F 11:00-19:00 on weekdays and 11:00-20:00 at weekends and on holidays. The concept cafes above open in the evening instead - Kimi no Ohimesama on 4F daily 18:00-24:00, Entama on 6F 18:00-23:00 Tue-Thu, 18:00-24:00 Fri, 15:00-24:00 Sat and the eve of a holiday, 15:00-23:00 Sun, closed Mondays. Toracon on 9F is a members-only office seen by appointment, so you cannot simply walk up. Come in the afternoon for the card shops, in the evening if you also want the cafes.
Getting there
Right outside exit 1 of the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line at Suehirocho: come up onto the east pavement of Chuo-dori and the building is about 10 m to your south. From the JR Akihabara Electric Town Exit (電気街口) it is a five-minute walk north along Chuo-dori, on your right (east) just before the Kuramaebashi-dori crossing. Look for a narrow nine-storey block fronting Chuo-dori, with the trading-card shop Mach at street level and a vertical signboard listing the card shops and concept cafes floor by floor. The upper floors are reached only by the single elevator in the entrance beside the ground-floor shop, so expect a wait at weekends.
