Building hours

There are no building-wide hours; each floor differs. namco Akihabara on B1F-5F runs 10:00-23:00, but its in-store official shops split: Gashapon Bandai Official Shop on 4F 10:00-23:00, the Ichiban Kuji Official Shop on 1F and the BANDAI CARD GAMES shop on 5F 10:00-21:00. Maidreamin LIVE RESTAURANT Heaven's Gate on 6F opens 10:30-23:00 Wed-Sun and holidays, 11:30-23:00 Mon-Tue. Otachu's Gundam store on 7F closes earliest at 11:00-20:00. The 8F yakiniku restaurant Gyukaku is 16:00-23:00 Mon-Fri and the eve of a holiday, 11:30-23:00 Sat, Sun and holidays. If you are here for the shops (5F cards, 7F Gundam), check those closing times rather than relying on namco's.

Getting there

One minute from the JR Akihabara Electric Town Exit (電気街口). Leave the gates and head toward Radio Kaikan: the building stands just in front of it on the station side, marked by the large namco sign on its facade (the former Sega / GiGO Akihabara Building 4). namco on B1F-5F is entered straight from 1F; for 6F-8F use the separate building entrance beside the 1F Ichiban Kuji Official Shop corner, turn left at the sign inside and take the elevator at the end of the passage.
