Trend Chart
“Comfort” Rating: 3 /5 points
The floor itself is easy to look around, but many of the stores have products lined up in a jumble, making it difficult to browse.
“Length of fun time” Rating: 3 /5 points
It would take too much time to look around the products carefully.

There are also high-priced stores. As for antiques, they have a wide selection, but the prices are a little high.

It’s all indoors, so it’s not a problem even on rainy days.

Access
Nakano Broadway is closely connected to the adjacent buildings, making it difficult to notice its existence from a distance. Therefore, we strongly recommend the following route:
Exit from the North Gate of Nakano Station (JR Chuo-Sobu Line / Metro Tozai Line) and enter the front-facing shopping street (Nakano Sun Mall Shopping Street). Continue straight for about 10 minutes.
The shopping street ends abruptly, and the entrance to Nakano Broadway appears in front of you. The atmosphere is similar, and the road separating the two is narrow, so it’s quite possible that you could walk into Nakano Broadway without noticing. However, if you follow this route, you can avoid losing sight of Nakano Broadway.
