    Where to stay

    Neighborhood guide

    Nakano is a ward of Tokyo immediately west of Shinjuku rather than a separate city, densely residential and popular with students and young professionals. The area around the station is compact and lively, and the rest is quiet low-rise housing.

    What to see

    Timed to the light

    Nakano Broadway, a warren-like shopping complex packed with shops selling manga, vintage toys, models and collectibles, is the ward's defining attraction and a serious destination for collectors. The covered shopping street leading to it from the station is lined with small restaurants and bars.
