namco Akihabara
An arcade and official character-shop complex a one-minute walk from Akihabara Station. Arcade games and capsule toys have different closing times from the prize-lottery and card shops.
A complex beside Radio Kaikan
The official access guide gives a one-minute walk from Akihabara Station. The building operates from B1 to floor 5, combining game machines with official character-related shops. Deciding whether you want games or capsule toys first helps keep the route efficient even on a short visit.
Different sections close at different times
namco and the Gashapon Bandai Official Shop operate until 23:00, while the Ichiban Kuji Official Shop and BANDAI CARD GAMES Official Shop finish at 21:00. Ichiban Kuji is a paid prize lottery, so distinguish its method from buying an ordinary item off a shelf.
Age-based admission hours
Under the official rules, visitors under 16 cannot enter after 18:00, except that they may stay until 22:00 with a guardian. Visitors under 18 cannot enter after 22:00. For a family visit, apply these limits before considering the store’s general closing time.
Prizes versus retail products
Crane-game prizes and merchandise sold in shops are obtained differently. Do not assume an item inside a machine can be bought at a regular retail price; check the rules for that section. The 2025 Chainsaw Man search is separate from today’s prize and product selection.
