Rental Showcase Shops in Tokyo

A “rental showcase” is a small showcase which anyone can rent to exhibit and sell their items including those that are self-made. The rental showcase shops have dozens of those showcases rented by different people.

In Akihabara and Nakano, there are many rental showcase shops specialized in collectibles and otaku items such as figures, toys, trading cards, and so on. Some showcases sell highly priced items that are no longer available in official stores.
