Jyarinco is a "secret haven" because you'll have more luck finding the Smurf village that day, than finding the actual shop. Mind the train tracks please.

my favorite part of finding jyarinco was standing on the street it was supposed to be on, calling Dennis on the phone and asking where it was, and then turning around to look up a flight of stairs and see all of the vinyl hanging in the door.

we were in front of it for about 5 minutes before realizing it :lol:

definitely one of my favorite shops, lots of hidden gems and great "bargain bins"


i also almost passed out at the sheer number of vintage toys at akihabara mandarake.

My favorite part of finally finding Jyarinco (it took us a good half hour) was finding that they were closed. :evil:
