While in Tokyo in March I visited a shop recommended by one of my wife's cousins that I had not been to before. As the title of this post suggest, it is in Nakano just a few blocks north of the station on the JR Chuo line.
The building is several floors of many shops featuring all kinds of things. The floors are connected by escalators and I had the feeling that this building may have at one time been a large department store. The shop I was interested in was identified by it's railway crossing colors on the front.
I had been looking for the Kato HB-E300 Buna set but it was out of stock here as it had been in all the other shops I checked on this trip. But, I did find something that I had been looking for since my wife and I rode this train in 2017. With the great exchange rate right now I am really happy with this purchase. Lots of the items in this shop are resale but the operator of the shop was very good about letting me inspect the models carefully and test everything on the test track in the shop. This will be running on the AsiaNrail layout setup next week.
