Nakano Camera Shopping: How to Use Fujiya Camera
Nakano makes the most sense when Fujiya Camera is the destination, not when it is an automatic add-on to a Shinjuku day. Match the department to what you actually need before you travel.

Start at the main store for cameras and lenses
Fujiya's current store information places the main store in Nakano Tatsumi Building, 5-61-1 Nakano. Its pickup guide currently lists the main store hours as 10:00–20:30.
Best use: arrive with one or two exact models, mount information and the accessories you require. If you are comparing used units, keep condition and included parts attached to each price rather than recording only the cheapest number.
Use the Video & Movie Store only when your task matches it
Fujiya's current access information lists a separate Video & Movie Store at 5-62-9 Nakano, KIK NAKANO 1st Building 1F, with 10:00–20:30 hours. The store guide describes it around video cameras, editing and streaming equipment.
If your shopping list is a still-camera body or lens, do not assume every Fujiya department is interchangeable. The separate store is useful when your target is video, streaming or related production equipment.
Use the Accessories Store for support gear
Fujiya also lists an Accessories Store in the same KIK NAKANO 1st Building on 2F, with current hours of 10:30–20:30. The official guide describes tripods, bags and studio-support equipment among its focus areas.
Best use: keep support gear separate from the camera decision. A cheaper camera body can stop being cheaper if it forces you to replace a charger, bag or other accessory you already own.
If you reserve online, watch the pickup deadline
Fujiya's current in-store pickup guidance says that eligible items are held for three days including the request date, that the reservation price is fixed at the time of the request, and that an order can be automatically cancelled if you do not visit within the deadline. It also says cancellations or changes are not accepted after the order is placed.
That makes pickup useful when you have already identified an exact item, but it is not a substitute for reading the item condition and purchase terms before committing.
When is Nakano worth the trip?
| Situation | Decision |
|---|---|
| Exact Fujiya item or pickup | Nakano is a purposeful destination. |
| Need camera plus specialist support gear | The nearby separate departments can make one trip efficient. |
| No specific item and already shopping in Shinjuku | Compare Shinjuku first; add Nakano only if another stop would answer a new question. |
| Used item condition unresolved | Inspect the exact unit before letting price decide. |
Use the used-camera inspection guide at the counter and the camera comparison tool for the total-cost decision. For a broader city plan, return to the Tokyo camera-store guide.
