Stores selling Transformers in Japan

I'll be frank - my partner just purchased a ticket and told me i was going this Thursday. I have virtually no plan except to visit the tokyo toy show.

I'm guessing I'll go to Tokyo and Osaka and i wouldnt mind seeing the Himeji Castle.

Cool.

HD just posted an awesome guide for shopping for Tfs in Osaka:

How long you got? Akihabara is interesting, Shibuya, Harajuku are al close and have good shopping amoungst other things.

Lots of awesome castles and shrines in Kyoto and quite a bit around Himeji as well. I had an awesome history holiday when I was over there last!

Near Hakone in the vicinity of Mt Fuji is a sekijou. Which they rebiult, its pretty much a travellers checkpoint set up in the Tokugawa era and is fascinating to walk around. there is also one of the Toy Museums in Hakone too, but it focuses more on Tin toys and earlier.

hey TC, Im not even too sure what my budget is going to be like. All i know is im being sent there without any plans, for about 3.5 weeks. hoping there's nice cheap accomodation or something like that. I should get a map and plan a circuit though i heard the transportation is expensive.

Hey guys, I'm currently doing up business cards for an upcoming trip to Japan, can anyone tell me the correct characters/translation for:
Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Cultural Studies
and
Graduate Diploma of Education (Adult and Tertiary)?

I've managed to get most of my translating for them done using Google Translate and cross-checking with a Japanese phrasebook, but the uni qualifications are proving a bit tricky.
Cheers all.

I would advice this chain of shops.
When I was in Japan, I loved them. Totally awesome and picked up some stuff really cheaply.
