What this is
The Classroom of the Elite Hyakki Yagyō ver. POP UP SHOP is a limited-run retail event dedicated to the popular light novel and anime series Classroom of the Elite, held at AmiAmi's flagship Akihabara Radio Kaikan location. The 'Hyakki Yagyō' version refers to a specific themed edition of the series, and this pop-up showcases newly drawn illustrations exclusive to this release. Fans can purchase specially designed merchandise and receive store-exclusive novelty items while browsing in-store decorations themed around the event. Unsold items will later be made available through the AmiAmi Online Shop, giving international fans a secondary opportunity to purchase.
Who should go
This event is ideal for dedicated fans of the Classroom of the Elite franchise who want access to limited-edition merchandise and exclusive novelty items not available elsewhere. Anime collectors and figure enthusiasts visiting Akihabara will find this a natural addition to any otaku shopping itinerary. The pop-up format means the store will be decorated and themed, making it a fun browsing experience even for casual fans of the series. Arrive early in the event run to secure the best selection of exclusive items before popular pieces sell out.
Good to know
Entry to the pop-up area is free, but budget for merchandise purchases — anime pop-up items in Akihabara typically range from a few hundred to several thousand yen per item. AmiAmi Akihabara Radio Kaikan is located inside the iconic Radio Kaikan building, which is easy to find directly adjacent to Akihabara Station's Electric Town exit. The store accepts major credit cards including foreign-issued Visa and Mastercard, and cash (yen) is always a safe backup. Store-exclusive novelty items are typically distributed with qualifying purchases, so check the official X account for the minimum spend threshold before you go. If you miss the physical event, after-sales through the AmiAmi Online Shop will offer a second chance at remaining stock.
