How to find it
Right in front of you as you leave the JR Akihabara Electric Town exit, the low arcade built against the Sobu line viaduct; the official site calls it 'the Radio Center right as you leave the station'. The management office is on 3F.
Tips
- Most counters run 10:00-18:30 and many close around 30 December to 3 January; there is no single building-wide opening time.
- It is a parts and radio market with no anime or game retail, though one small stall on 1F (Kabe no Mise) sells trading card games.
- Do not confuse it with Tokyo Radio Department Store (Sotokanda 1-10-11) or Radio Kaikan (Sotokanda 1-15-16); all three are separate buildings.
