Open Nakano in the guide, with the map, the walks and the places you can see for free.
Nakano, Tokyo
Ten minutes west of Shinjuku on the Chuo Line. The Sun Mall arcade runs from the north exit straight into Nakano Broadway, four floors of manga, toys and the country's densest cluster of second-hand watch dealers. Cheap izakaya alleys either side of it.
What to eat & do in Nakano
I've vetted 14 places in Nakano myself. Each one in the guide carries the nearest station and exit, what to order and the reservation reality.
The full names and the exact directions open in the full guide, that specificity is the whole product.
