im going to japan soon, and want to know what toy places are

Akihabara and Nakano Broadway are both the best places to buy toys. You could nitpick and point out other random places but these two have all beat in regards to supply and prices.

>>5818431
Besides toys you should go checkout some of their maid cafe , and maybe one of those akb stage shows

>>5818431
check out the Pokemon Center if you like Pokemon. Cool store

Book more than ONE day for akihabara.

I was in Tokyo for two weeks a few months back. Out of my fourteen days there, I made three trips to Akiba and two to Nakano Broadway.

Definitely preferred Nakano Broadway; less tourist-y, older merchandise, tons of secondhand stuff and best of all it's indoors. However the rental showcase stores, Mandarake, and Amiami's new physical location are all worth checking out in Akiba. I got figma Casca for 3k yen, and Revoltech Asuka for 1.5k. Their prices are great for brand new items.

Why? You can see everything in one day

This, we wound up going back to akiba pretty much whenever we had spare or unplanned time.

Arcades, good food, yodobashi camera and sofmap, there's just a lot to do there. I still didn't see everything.

The bacon and mayo taiyaki gundams from the gundam cafe are awesome.

Trader and Super Potato are the best places for games.

If you like Ramen, hit up Ippudo Ginza in Tokyo, it's fantastic.

If you are in to gundam any, or arcades, head down to odaiba some time. That's where the livesize gundam statue is, and the gundam front tokyo store/museum thing is on the top floor of that mall, with a huge round 1 arcade right below it.

Akihabara is literally a dungeon crawl of shops with obscure underground shops hidden away.

>more gaijin in akiba

Gross.

No idea, but watch out for customs fees. I think the work around is to ship out your items in smaller packages of less expensive stuff (one box is $50, another $70, etc., whatever the max price is).

Sounds like somebody is a little jealous :^)

This really depends on where he's coming back through.

I came back through lax with about 2 grand worth of goods in my bag and we never even got checked by customs, and if we did, nothing had price tags and it was all toys and shit they wouldn't know the value of.

Um, not really
