If u r looking for sth 2nd hand brand name but in good condition or game/figure for yr kid u should make a visit. I got myself a 501 levi jean for 1600 yen tax free while my kid got himself Demon Slayer figures he really loves it.

I had a lot of anticipation visiting this space, mainly because I know that it has 2 floors, one that sells games and comics; and another with second hand clothing and luxury goods. In general, 2F sells most games and comics and a big selection of CdS but not too much on games in my opinion. 3F has a pretty good selection of 2nd hand clothing and a rather big selection of luxury goods. It was an interesting visit, although I didn’t bought anything. One thing to note, 3F closes at 9pm, where as 2F opens till 10pm!

Being in a such a high traffic spot, this BOOKOFF PLUS location is truly stacked in terms of its selection and inventory. I came looking for retro video games and they had it in spades. Lots of rare titles and plenty of inventory for each platform. The only gotcha is that the prices are much higher than the same games found in the same condition at other BOOKOFF locations. I've been to nearly a dozen across Tokyo, Kobe, Yokohama, etc and the same games are marked up at this location specifically. Overall, the prices are still fair compared to imports, so come here if you just want to find that rare game you're looking for. Otherwise, if you are looking for deals, consider another location (like Shinsaibashi) for retro video game shopping. The employees here are just as nice as the other BOOKOFF locations'.

Had a great selection of used electronics, books, and other merchandise. Beware of the inflated prices on trading cards and Nintendo related games/electronics. They know they are in a hot spot for tourists that have money. I would recommend finding the other book offs to get a good idea of what a good price on used goods is.

The prices for the retro games are really high compared to other places. Can see from the photos the prices of the popular pokemon games. I went to other stores to find and the prices were not even close to those they were selling. But their dvd and blubray is quite cheap as well. They have a wide selection of pokemon cards and games as well. Even selling old retro games like ps, ps2 ps3, older nintendo places. Location is located in prime location.
