Shop Size: ★★☆☆☆
The space is relatively small, with showcases lining the entire corridor, creating a snug atmosphere. It's just enough space for two people to pass by.

Number of Items: ★★★★★
With over 700 showcases in-store, it's packed with merchandise. From popular series like "One Piece," "Dragon Ball," "Jujutsu Kaisen," and "Attack on Titan" to Gundam, special effects, and retro games, there's a wide variety available.

Crowdedness: ★☆☆☆☆
Despite being a popular spot within Radio Kaikan, the shop is always bustling with visitors, which can make it feel even more crowded due to its limited space.

Rare Items: ★★★★★
All items inside are second-hand, including some highly sought-after limited editions and rare items not commonly found in general retail.

Uniqueness: ★★★★★
The shop's approach is incredibly unique. It operates by renting showcases to individuals, each with its own concept, making browsing interesting. Ordering is also unconventional; customers fill out a slip with the desired item's number, and staff retrieve it, allowing customers to inspect the products before purchasing. Prices may vary depending on the showcase, so it's worth exploring different sections.


Language: English, Chinese, and Korean signage available.
International Delivery: Not available at the moment.
