When you think of Nakano Broadway, just think of just a different version, an indoor one at that, of the famous Akihabara, but that’s a little more unique. Talking of Nakano Broadway’s uniqueness here, we refer to the lessened maids, eroge, and computer parts stalls and more of the Japanese Pop Culture splendid. It’s just uniqueness in totality, and all of the Japanese heritage exhibited in different models and creations.
Have a good trip and travel!
