Now you knowing me you're probably asking yourself why no photos of what's inside these fabulous shops. Well simply put it's flat out forbidden and looking around and seeing anywhere from 2 - 8 security cameras on you. I ain't risking it just to get a photo then get kicked out just for you. You would need something like a spy camera.
Suffice to say if you are looking for "deals" look elsewhere SERIOUSLY ! bargains are few and far between and usually involve Gundam models they are being cleared, some good prices on those especially the 18" models but video games ? Nope.
Resident 5 Regular version 7500 yen, in the US it's $59.99 ! Aquanaughts Holiday which I purchased at a store close the hotel for 3500 yen was still 5700 there. So go there if want to buy action figures. Although a sealed copy of SEGAGA for only 8900 yen was pretty damn tempting as it was offered ONLY online and ONLY in Japan.
Well at this point my legs are aching and it's time to go home. We're not walking back we're taking the subway. After making my way back with all the landmarks I've seen I'm beginning to believe it's pretty damn hard to get lost here.
Get to the station and it's 8 stops in a straight line. I head to the collectors booth. Shinjuku arigato I say, he tells me 260 yen I hand the coins he explains I have to use the machine. Eeek I think I go over and wouldn't you know there's an english button. It asks me to spell out the station. The collector watches over me to assist if needed. Get the ticket and through the turnstile. You insert the ticket and it spits out the other side.
Down and down to the subway tracks

Train approaching ... but it turns out to be an express that races through.
After an uneventful ride we head back to the hotel going through the dog park. He looks pleased to see us.
