Tokyo Disney Resort is well-known for its merchandise that changes constantly. With this abundance of merchandise being pumped out on a monthly basis, where do people put it when they are finished? The answer is Nakano Broadway (中野ブロードウェイ) in Tokyo. This 4 story complex is an excellent alternative to Akihabara (which is well-known for its “otaku” culture), with everything you would ever want in a single mall. Many people bring their used (or sometimes even brand new) Disney items to the many stores in this shopping complex to offload them.

This shopping complex is a haven for Disney Collectors. If you can collect it, you can likely find it at one of the many stores carrying Disney merchandise. From pins, popcorn buckets, kitchen ware, stuffed animals (which includes Duffy of course), and anything else you can dream up – if you’re looking to add unique or discontinued merchandise, then you’ll want to make the trek to Nakano Broadway in Tokyo. Follow our guide to learn which stores are worth your time and what they typically carry. We went through all the stores and made a list of which stores sold what types of merchandise! We did all the legwork, so you can spend more time finding that perfect Disney item. Don’t miss our guide to saving money on Disney merchandise in Japan too!

Keep in Mind

Since these are used stores, the merchandise will vary. We cannot guarantee the stores will carry specific items. They do carry certain types of merchandise but if  – such as – you’re looking for a pin from Summer 1992 at Tokyo Disneyland, that is a bit tough. Just keep that in mind when you are visiting these stores. You do sometimes however find things you never knew existed, like this Mickey Waffle Coin purse I picked up a while back. Easily my favourite item I have found there.

Getting There

Nakano Broadway is a short 5 minute walk from Nakano Station – serviced by JR Rail’s Chuo Line (one stop from Shinjuku station). You can hop on the local, rapid, or most express trains. Go out the north exit of Nakano Station and walk down Nakano Sunmall, which is a 225 metre long covered shopping street. It has cafes, restaurants (including a McDonald’s), pharmacy, arcades, sushi joints, etc. I recommend taking the time to explore the shops here too.

At the end of Sunmall is Nakano Broadway, you cannot miss it. Once you get there, grab a map so you can cross reference it with what we are about to tell you (unfortunately they only have Japanese language maps). Now that you know how to get there, which stores should you be ravaging?

Money

Many of these stores are locally run (a few are chains) so the use of credit cards is hit or miss. We highly recommend bringing Japanese Yen with you. This makes your life easier. The basement floor has a 7-11 ATM which works with most foreign debit and credit cards (check with your bank first).

7-11 ATM is found in the basement of Nakano Broadway. If you need to pull out money.

The stores listed below are through floors 1F to 3F. We have circled all the stores for you in the images below. These maps are found on the official Nakano Broadway website.

Stores

These stores are ones which we found carried a fair amount of Disney Merchandise from not only Tokyo Disney Resort but the other parks around the world. Tokyo Disney Resort is by far the most common. Keep in mind that these stores may change (or close).
