@@dragontalontsiawdYou’re definitely well-informed sounds like a solid plan! If you have time and are nearby, I’d recommend checking out stores like Hobby Off, Book Off, or Second Street you might find some hidden treasures. Wishing you a successful hunt tomorrow!
@@4kjapanspace07 we have a few others in mind from a local we hired as an informal tour guide. The official Japanese government tour guides are a rip off. We actually hired a new start up company too, they have a TH-cam presence as well. Great people so far.
That sounds awesome! Having a local guide must make the experience so much more authentic. It’s great to hear you found some to support you. Wishing you an amazing trip! 😊
@@raphdude8073 Nakano Broadway is an Otaku haven with many stores where you can find any anime merch you want! I also visited Nakano Broadway, and you can see it in the following link: th-cam.com/video/kQEXb_87cOw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=v0GZZPihDs-7vL5r
@@raphdude8073 Thank you for your kind suggestion! I'm preparing a video related to the Christmas lights in Tokyo, so stay tuned for the upcoming videos!
Hi, that’s correct! The fluctuation in the Japanese yen against the USD can indeed make shopping in Japan more attractive for tourists. Coupled with the tax-free system, it’s even more enticing. Thanks for pointing that out!
Hi! This store is huge! Last time I visited, I saw a few surfboards and snorkeling items. However, Hard Off’s inventory changes constantly, so there’s a chance those items might already be gone if you visit. Thanks for watching!
Hi! Sorry, I didn’t see any VCR players when I visited, but since it's a big store, they might have some! It might be worth checking out again. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
Hi thank you for your comment. Last year I visited the store “Volks Akihabara Hobby Paradise“ in Akihabara. I found very few digimon figures. I wish I could record it more time but at least some are shown in the 18:55 minute of the video in the following link : th-cam.com/video/BmBC5NWXyWE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kvPvC_0jsKlm8JQP Additionally, In my experience I would say that Radio Kaikan in Akihabara and Nakano Broadway definitely you can find some figures. I hope you find this useful. In the future I will consider to make a video of about hunting digimon figures in Tokyo, so stay tuned of the upcoming videos! Thanks for watching!
Hi! According to Google Maps, it appears as ‘Hard Off Hachioji Owada.’ Here’s the address for your reference: 〒192-0045 Tokyo, Hachioji-shi, Owadamachi 5-1-21. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching.
Hi, good to know that you got too much from you visit to Japan! From your comment I guesting you really found very nice and unique stuff. Cool ! Thanks for watching!
Looks cool, but that's a pretty expensive used store. Must have rare stuff to warrant that much for it. Are they a 'collector's museum' or intending to sell something?
Hi, thank you for your comment! These thrift stores are very famous in Japan for offering good items in decent condition at reasonable prices. However, there are many pricey items, so in my opinion (above 6 years living here in Japan), it's kind of both. I have seen some stores with unique pieces for collectors, but most items are for sale. If you're lucky, you may find collectible pieces at a very good price, but the possibility of this happening recently is decreasing, which is a shame! Have a great day!
@@asphorcata Hi! In my opinion, Off House and 2nd Street reuse shops have some great outdoor gear. I highly recommend visiting larger Hard Off stores with Off House sections-they often have a good selection. Thanks for watching!

Hi, thank you for your comment! I also think it’s still pricey, but if you compare it with prices outside Japan, I think the prices are relatively acceptable. However, recently I’ve been noticing that all retro games and consoles have been increasing in price, and it seems this trend will continue! Thanks for watching!
Hi! I share your frustration. It’s true that sharing information can sometimes drive prices up. I also believe that the recent increase in tourism in Japan contributes to higher prices for goods (video games, consoles, anime figures, and merchandise) and services, especially in tourist areas, which also frustrates the locals. Thanks for your feedback!
They make more money off of tourists than locals so it does make sense. I’m sure theres other store that still cater to the japanese market thus better prices
@@crashharmonyroberson5076 Hi, I agree with you. Particularly in the countryside of Japan, there are definitely stores with better prices. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I like how you took the time to record and go through this stuff
Thank you for your kind comment ! Regards !

You are a bit off there. the PS Vita is the blue one in the top shelf for 16.500 YEN. the ones you said cost around 25 dollars is the PSP.
