I don't know Games Workshop, but I think all the constructing goes on at home.

Lawson! Or not. Its a convienient store in Japan.

Anyway, I'd probebly pick Ramen. I actually didn't have any Ramen while I was there, but I did have Udon. Theres a Japanese restraunt near me called Tomos that is pretty authentic to Japanese cuisine, except for the Udon noodles...they have much more flavor in Japan.

Shopping for gifts and all kinds of Japanese made products is always fun, such as anime figures, or gaming stuff, but clothes shopping and shoe shopping can be difficult for some because they're sizes run so small. I have big feet by Japanese standards, and American standards too probebly. XD

I tried on a shirt while I was in Shibuya, in one of those really tall shopping buildings(there all tall), and that didn't work out too well. I managed to get it buttoned all the way up, but it was pretty tight. My bust is much bigger than most Japanese girls.

Manga Shop of course

Then after that some kinda gadget shop or electronic super store.

On topic, I would choose maid cafe. Because hey, I brought up in in a past thread, right?

Nah, there's a Japanese book store
in Arlington Heights in Mitsuwa.
It's like the, uh....
Japanese Borders.
XD
They got comfy chairs and everything.

If I could go one place in Japan I would go to the clothing thingy. I was thinking first about the Manga Shop but then I thought if it was in Japan then it would be in Japanese and I cant really read very much Japanese sooo... I chose The Clothing Boutique.

O.K. I have to agree with Lawson Station. I can't not go there when I visit Japan. I always bring home a bunch of "Frisk" mints from Lawson.

This one's easy. I'd go back to Super Potato in Akihabara..it's the retro gamer's heaven *.*

RAMEN RAMEN!!! Sushi and Manga chooou close 2nd & 3rd!

Hmm, where to go? Takashimaya is expensive, but they have everything from groceries to Brioni suits.

I suppose Tokyu Hands would be the best place. They have clothing, furniture, home decor, arts and crafts, pretty much everything but food. Anytime I need something for whatever the reason (yukata and geta for a festival, or a wrench to fix my bicycle) they have it there.
