Remember that you can haggle prices with the manager at Hero Gangu, although if you don't speak Japanese you will need to bring along someone who can (as staff do not speak English). You can get a better discount over the tax exemption that most places offer if you spend over 5000JPY and produce a non-Japanese passport.

Eruntalon: Have you been able to meet up with any fans in Japan? If so, feel free to post news/pics about it on the Japan Meetup 2016 thread (and anyone else who may have done likewise is welcome to share on that thread too ). I always love socialising with other fans, and sometimes socialising with fans overseas can offer fresh insight which I otherwise may not come across with local meetups here (although I still enjoy those too ). I did meet up with some anime fans in Tokyo but didn't post it on the thread since they weren't Transformers fans (I'm just keeping that thread about TF meets).
