Description
The flagship of Trader Inc., a game and hobby reuse specialist founded in 1999, located in the Trader Main Store Building along Chuo-dori. On May 23, 2024 the company re-launched its flagship here at the expanded former site of its 3rd-floor branch, reopening as a large composite store spanning B1 through the 7th floor. The layout places buyback on B1, game and media on 1F–2F, figures and hobby on 3F–5F, and R18 categories on 6F–7F, with trading cards occupying a focused corner of the media floor built around Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and the One Piece Card Game. Inheriting the distribution network of its former parent Messe Sanoh, the store's defining strengths are sourcing reach and high inventory turnover. Over 840 Google reviews at a 4.2 rating—among the highest volume of any Akihabara card-related store—reflect a deep local trust built over decades.
