Overview
Janpara Akihabara 3, a shop that buys and sells smartphones and PCs, will relocate in mid-September 2026. The store, which has operated at its current location since moving there in 2008, will close and move to the 1st floor of Sofmap AKIBA U-SHOP, about 10 seconds on foot from the current spot.
Highlights
The new location is closer to Chuo-dori than the current store, and the larger floor space will allow for an expanded buy/sell lineup. Sofmap AKIBA U-SHOP already operates in the same building, and the two shops are expected to drive customer traffic to each other.
- The current store closes on September 13, 2026 (Sun) due to the move
- Some services will stop being accepted in stages ahead of the final business day
- The new store is scheduled to open in mid-September 2026 (about 10 seconds on foot from the current store)
- Janpara operates 62 stores across 17 prefectures nationwide (as of August 2026)
We consider the Akihabara area, closely tied to our founding, one of our key bases, and through this relocation we aim to further raise our profile and expand our share in Akihabara — from Janpara's press release
