The map is provided by Google Maps and loads when you scroll to it.
From East Exit 35
The official shop page lists the route in these steps:
- Leave by Exit 35 on the East Exit side, the exit toward Sunshine (サンシャイン方面出口).
- With the station behind you, walk along the left-hand sidewalk of Green Odori (グリーン大通り).
- At the Higashi-guchi five-way crossing (東口五差路), take Sunshine 60-dori (サンシャイン60階通り), the street on the right of the Lotteria.
- Turn right at the corner between Daikokuya Brand-kan (大黒屋ブランド館) and Matsumoto Kiyoshi.
- The shop is on the 7th floor of the building next to FamilyMart, opposite Bankara (ばんから).
The page has no route photos, so the shop signs named in the steps are the landmarks to look for. Shop signs change over time; if one is missing, the walking directions button above is set to the building address.
Other card shops on the East Exit side
Two other Ikebukuro shops we cover are on the East Exit side: Hareruya2 Ikebukuro, a Pokémon card shop whose page names East Exit (North), and Dragon Star Ikebukuro, whose page names the JR East Exit. Each page gives a different exit or route, so check the one for the shop you are going to.
Opening hours
The shop is open 12:00–21:00 Monday to Friday and 11:00–20:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. The page says card buying ends two hours before closing, so if you want to sell cards, arrive by 19:00 on a weekday or 18:00 at the weekend. The page lists no closed days (無).
What the shop sells
The page lists hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME, Union Arena, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel, the Pokémon Card Game, Duel Masters, Battle Spirits, the One Piece Card Game and PriPara, plus premium supplies. It gives its duel space as 70 seats.
For Yu-Gi-Oh!, our Rush Duel guide covers the separate Rush Duel format, and how the Japanese OCG differs from the TCG explains what you are buying. For Union Arena, what kind of game Union Arena is explains its shared rulebook.
What the official page does not say
The shop page does not state whether the building has an elevator, which payment methods are accepted, whether tax-free shopping is offered, or whether staff speak English. We have left these as not confirmed.
Before you fly home
The Yu-Gi-Oh! sleeve guide covers the smaller Yu-Gi-Oh! card size, and our sleeve size guide covers the standard size.
