// ABOUT THIS SHOP

This Pokemon-only card shop sits on the 6th floor of the Maruyama Building in Sotokanda 3-chome. It moved and expanded here from a Nakano location in August 2023. Alongside singles and sealed packs from the current sets, it also carries "kyu-ura" cards -- Pokemon cards with the original pre-1997 card-back design -- which is a genuine point of difference, since not many Akihabara shops stock vintage-back cards on the same shelves as new releases. Unlike multi-title general shops, focusing on Pokemon alone lets this shop put more depth into its singles stock and buyback turnaround. It's about a 7-8 minute walk from the nearest station, but it sits in a block of Sotokanda packed with small buildings, so it's easy to fold into a route with nearby card shops. It's worth keeping in mind if you're hunting current-set singles, but it's especially relevant if you collect early-era Pokemon cards or want to sell vintage kyu-ura cards. You'll need to take the elevator up to the 6th floor from the building entrance -- this isn't a shop you'll stumble across at street level, so it's one to visit with intention.
