My 2 weeks of vacation in Japan -Pokemon and more
Just returned from Japan. Enjoyed the culture and the food. They have a city pretty much designed for Anime and that's where I sent a little time finding cards. Places that I traveled to: Akihabara, Ginza, Shinjuku, Yokohama, Ichigaya, Ueno, Shibuya, Nakano, Ikebukuro, Kamakura, Nippori and Nagoya. Most of those cities have many Pokemon shops.
Non-stop flight to Narita  View from my hotel room near Ichigaya  Pulled this from a few packs from 24/7 hour convenience store next to the hotel  Bought a Seiko watch from the Seiko HQ in Ginza  Arrived at Akihabara on a train  Went to 20+ Trading card shops    Had ramen several times. The best. (690Ľ~$4.65)  Had Wagu twice. Each steak comes serialized. 12oz costed 2700Ľ~$18       Also bought some Godzilla packs at the Godillza store in Shibuya. Pulled a gold parallel, 1954 variant!   Bought me a nice 1st edition Gold Star Charizard and the Victini promo   Stopped by Kamakura. Had a nice lunch and great matcha ice cream. Ran into one Trading card shop at Kamakura that sold sealed boxes and headed singles.  Also pulled this red parallel#/5 from Stadium Club  Nonstop from Tokyo: arriving in time for San Diego Comic-Con

Nice trip photo! Japan is the land of cool and funky collectibles. They got some very strange toys in the gashapon section

Very nice summary with great photos. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip.
I lived in Tokyo for a few years - maybe my favorite place. Thanks for sharing.
