Building hours
No common building hours; each floor differs. The FamilyMart on 1F is open 24 hours; Hellnya Shop on 3F and Cle-Cle on 7F and 8F run 11:00-20:00 year-round, with Cle-Cle's buyback intake and 8F rental-layout bookings closing at 19:00. The Yellow Submarine RPG Shop on 6F opens 12:00-20:00 on weekdays, 11:00-20:00 on Saturday and 11:00-19:00 on Sunday and public holidays, taking buybacks until 30 minutes before close. The exam centre on 4F and the offices on 9F do not receive casual visitors.
Getting there
One minute from Suehirocho Station on the Ginza line. From JR Akihabara take the Electric Town North Exit (電気街北口), come out onto Chuo-dori and walk six or seven minutes north toward Ueno; the building is on your right. It is a ten-storey block faced in pink-beige tile on the east pavement of Chuo-dori, and the FamilyMart on its ground floor is the surest landmark. Go in beside the convenience store and ride the building's single lift up; each floor holds one tenant, so you step out straight into that floor's shop.
