Founded in 1966 as a luxury shopping complex, it has become a popular destination for goods aimed at otaku. Nakano Broadway was developed in the context of the Japanese economic miracle, wherein as Japan rebuilt in the aftermath of the Second World War, multiple megastructures were constructed. Among these were Nakano Broadway and nearby Nakano Sun Plaza, which were designed to be self-contained living and entertainment complexes. The mall opened in 1966 as a shopping and apartment complex housing shops, restaurants, apartments, and a rooftop terrace with a swimming pool and garden. While not a metabolist building, Nakano Broadway is noted as being influenced by metabolist architecture.
