Famous chain handling both TCGs and board games. Broad selection including niche products.

Editor's Take
The rare shop that comfortably sells TCGs and board games under one roof, with noticeably higher English comfort than the typical Otaroad shop. A natural fit for Western tabletop gamers dabbling in TCGs, or for travelers wanting to pick up a Japan-only board game title alongside their cards.

“That's very unfortunate since I got my Yuni noodle stopper from Trader Usually if it's not in Trader or Amiami, a couple other places that would come to mind would've been Radio Kailan or Yellow Submarine If you went to Osaka tho you might've had better luck in Nihonbashi”
