Every Treca Capital inside an EDION department store is terrible.

Akihabara (1/5): Overpriced, small selection.
Namba (2/5): Inflated prices, only Modern.
Yokohama (2.5/5): Almost all Modern, inflated.

The pattern: EDION mall rent gets baked into card prices. You're paying for their overhead, not card value.

If you see the EDION logo, walk the other way.

Pokémon card chains to skip in Japan: Hobby Station, Yellow Submarine, and MINT.

Hobby Station: Small selection, high prices. Only Ikebukuro (4/5) surprised me.
Yellow Submarine: Never found a card worth buying across all branches.
MINT: Appealing interiors, disappointing cards.

Spend your time at C-Labo, Ninnin, and Sunrise instead.
