How to find it
From the west sidewalk of Chuo-dori, take the narrow lane between GiGO Akihabara 3 and the Hirose building (HEY arcade, Melonbooks) and walk west about 60 m to where it ends in a T-junction. On the right-hand (north) corner, the Okajima Building with the green KOTOBUKIYA sign and the OKAJIMA nameplate holds the store on 1F–5F; the entrance faces the back street. Super Potato is 30 m further north on the same street.
Tips
