Best retro gaming stores in Tokyo? (lemmy.world)

I've only been to Super Potato so far. I remember that when I posted some pictures in the old retrogaming subreddit from my visit, quite a few people said that SP is overpriced and for tourists.

So for my next visit I'm trying to do some research. Does anybody have any recommendations for retro gaming stores in Tokyo or anywhere in Japan for that matter?

I haven't been myself, but sometimes I like to watch YouTube videos of people going retro shopping in Japan. It seems like Hard Off is a good bet. Akihabara shops are cool and you can find something there and are definitely worth visiting, but the best prices are at smaller shops in Tokyo. Best deals are if you can take a train trip out of Tokyo to a hard off in a smaller area.
