Card Shop Clove Base

// ABOUT THIS SHOP

Clove Base Akihabara is on the 6th floor of Chomchom Akihabara, run by Trust Hub, the company behind the collectibles marketplace Clove. It opened in May 2021 and is one of the largest card shops in Akihabara by floor area. Its white-toned sales floor carries play-use cards for Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, MTG and Duel Masters, all the way up to collection cards worth several million yen, and it also stocks Flesh and Blood, which is popular overseas. There are private negotiation rooms for high-value items, and buying assessments are handled in store. Above all, the attached Clove Lounge cafe and bar on the same floor lets you play while you relax — an experience few other shops offer. It is about a 1-minute walk from the Akihabara stations of JR, Tokyo Metro and the Tsukuba Express, so you can drop in as soon as you arrive. It suits anyone who wants to settle in: browsing cards at leisure, discussing and trading high-value cards, or taking a breather between matches. Operator Trust Hub emphasizes a shopping experience that blurs the line between online and offline, so being able to move between the store and the Clove marketplace as you hunt for cards is another reason to choose this shop.
