While it might not be the best time to open a store relating to a trading card game in Japan – a nation which is currently closed to tourists, lest we forget – that hasn't stopped the Hareruya chain from opening what it is claiming to be the biggest Pokémon TCG outlet in the world. This summer, Pokémon Card Specialty Shop Hareruya 2 opened its doors in Tokyo’s famous Akihabara district. It spans five floors and is set up to cater for collectors, players and newcomers.

I went to a lot of card shops while I lived in Japan, they almost always featured several games. Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and several others. Wow. Just wanna know how he got so many cards though. Must've been collecting for a while now. These shops sell 2nd-hand and rare cards only. We're not talking about current booster packs. I love how the dude in the thumbnail is holding a VMAX like that. Nice way to get some early scratches Hallelujah!
