“Asagaya Animation Street is completely gone!”

Jul 2020

Asagaya Animation Street is now closed. All the shops that had anime-related stuff is completely gone. It has has now known as Aluuk (I hope that is the right translation) and is just another generic Tokyo shopping street. There is a bakery, English school, nail salon, cafe and a couple more. I honestly think the average tourist will have no interest in it especially as the main shopping area around Asagya would probably better suit their needs.

“Not recommended”

Jan 2018

Few store opened . If you want shopping I recommend "Nakano Broadway". If you want to know history of anime "Suginami Anime Musium".

Couldn't become the next Akihabara

Sep 2016 • Solo

The location is right below the JR line, around 10 minutes walk from the station. The place is quite hard to find since you have to pass through a construction site and a almost ghost town-ish arcade
Many of the stores in the streets have closed, and not of a lot of people are visible during the weekdays
One cafe which seems to be a voice actress cafe seems to be the only one doing decent business.
I don't know how long it will last, but they do have a new horror type maze

Nothing there!

Apr 2017

Turned up early afternoon on a Wednesday and everything was closed. Looking at the plan of shops it appears most of the original retailers have closed and left - and it shows. The street is mostly now used as a cycleway.
