I hope you have good wather for your trip, though. The weather gods were good to me on both Japan visits and only cried one day each trip.
Yeah I saw that and was like 'nooooo!' but heres to hoping we'll avoid it.

Yeah I'm not particularly bothered about it chucking it down either, just thought I'd check, would be nice to avoid Super Typhoon's

But yeah I'll try crab, not sure I'll like it but I want to try everything at least once!

They have a Sega Joypolis in Odaiba, Tokyo as well.... And I share your "I'll be in Japan" feeling! I took about 5 minutes of each day looking a something very Japanese (i.e. Tokyo Tower, Ryoan-ji, Tokugawa Ieyasu' mausoleum in Nikko) and just sat there and convinced myself it was not a dream; I was really there! It was invigorating. Sometimes one is too busy visiting things, shopping, etc to realize where you are. It's hard to explain. I hope you understand.

Been to the odaba one twice, looks like this time we will be able to celebreate sonics 20th birthday festivities!

ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ20周年記念展

I understand I remember sitting in a park in hiroshima a shrine to my left a garden infront and juts outside the park the hum of skyscrapers as it turned to dusk and the neon came on, knowing there was a game shop and arcade just 5min walk away. I never wanted that moment to end.

Seems as you've been twice, maybe you'd know?

It's called 'Zero 4D.' It's an attraction based on the Fatal Frame 2 / Project Zero 2 game. I think it's basically like a 3D mini-movie kinda thing... I've been on the hunt for this attraction since I found out about it, but had no luck last year.

I asked a staff worker at the arcade under the wheel if he'd heard of it in Japanese... and because I asked it in Japanese, he assumed I was fluent and went into a drawn out conversation in which I understood nothing... so yeah, my hunt goes on!
And I was just wondering if maybe you'd know if this illusive attraction is in Joypolis or not?

According to the pamphlet I brought back from my visit to Joypolis in October, there doesn't seem to be a ride or attraction with that name. On the 3rd floor there is: Aquarena, 3D Movie Attraction, Sky Cruising, Initial D, Halfpipe Canyon. On Floor 4 there is: The Quiz Show, Let's Go Jungle SP, The House of the Dead 4 SP, Hummer, Burnout Running and Storm G. On Floor 5 there is Fortune Forest, Pink Panther, Lola and Carla and the Beauty Contest, Prison Break, The Room of Living Dolls, Dark Chapel, Wild Wing, Wild Jungle Brothers and Wild River.

I don't know if they change the rides/attractions every so often or not. I just don't know much about that place. It was so loud and packed with younger people, I didn't bother going in.

Nippon-bashi - 05-28-2011, 01:16 AM

Did you check NIPPON-BASHI street near NAMBA or DOTON-BORI in Osaka?

It had been an electronic town like as AKIHABARA and now it is a street for gamers and figure lovers like as AKIHABARA...

It is about 1 km in length from NIPPON-BASHI station to EBISU-BASHI station of Osaka Subway (SAKAI-SUJI-line).

If you check NIPPON-BASHI street on google Street View, you will find lonely deserted street. Don't be teased. Those photos must have been shot early in the morning.

日本橋 is read as NIHON-BASHI meaning 東京都中央区日本橋 and NIPPON-BASHI meaning 大阪市浪速区日本橋.
