AmiAmi Akihabara for Model Kits: What to Check

Radio Kaikan 4F

Akihabara Radio Kaikan's current official tenant page places AmiAmi on 4F, with standard hours of 11:00–20:00. The tenant listing describes a very large general hobby store.

Model kits are one part of a broad hobby mix

The current official tenant page lists plastic models, tools/materials, work kits, mini cars, figures, character goods, books and used items among the store's categories. That makes AmiAmi useful when you want to compare a kit with tools or other hobby goods in one stop.

Keep online and physical-store information separate

AmiAmi operates dedicated physical-store information pages for Akihabara and Ikebukuro. Do not assume an item visible on the online store is physically waiting in Radio Kaikan unless the store provides that confirmation.

Use it as the first floor in a Radio Kaikan comparison

After 4F, move only if another floor answers a different question: Yellow Submarine for character plastic models/tools, or Volks Hobby Square for broader scale-model and material depth. See our Akihabara route guide.

What to record before leaving the floor

If you find a candidate kit, save the manufacturer, product number, grade or scale, edition, price and whether it is new or used. If you also buy tools, keep those as a separate decision so a discounted kit does not justify unrelated extras. When comparing with another floor or store, match the exact edition and box contents rather than comparing only the character or mobile-suit name.

Keep used and new offers separate

If you compare an unopened new kit with a used item, record the condition and any missing or opened contents before looking at the price difference. A lower used price is only meaningful when the exact edition and completeness still match what you intended to build.
