I was just wondering what are things you would buy if you visited Japan. What things are important not to forget as a tourist in Japan.

Rare pornography. You seriously have to check out some of the stuff there. If you are a connoseiur of art, you'd check it out.

PRINT CLUB 2

Rare games and anime. Only the successful mainstream stuff makes it across the shores. You'd best go check out the indie stuff.

o yeah ~ go to the tokyo modern art museum in roppongi hills & buy takashi murakami paraphanelia; plus get the whole view of the city

food: octopus balls in the street vendors, dried squid, i heard the habashi (raw horse meat) was good but i havent tried it yet.

items: rare collectibles like toys if youre into that stuff

...used womens' undergarments worn by teenage Japanese school girls...

If I go I'll buy Gundam models, coz they're dirt cheap, also clothes, electronics and music CDs.

music and food, and some souvenirs.. too expensive though

actually many of the restaurants and street vendors are high quality and cheap. i had great octupus balls and fish there. and great noodle shops there too . it really depends on where you go though

electronic gadgets

exquisite Japanese gourmet food (dessert)

Some cd´s

sushi

Thanks for the replies. I'll go hunting for some cd's for sure caz they're super overpriced in the states. Sushi from Japan sounds good too. I hear everything in Japan is priced fairly decent in terms that you get what you pay for. Is that true or is it hella expensive?

^ Will you look for my suggestion also?

I want to buy the android.

i'm gonna buy lots of memory cards, gundams, games, no need for pornography or teenager's panties because suijne shares...... i guess that's it.

kimono for your gf..

cds, anime figures, souvenirs etc.

really depends on where youre going . where are you plannng to travel? in shimonoseki, there is much fugu (blowfish). i take ferry rides there a lot because my korean hometown of Pusan has a ferry connection with them.

in tokyo and osaka its gonna be more expensive. but i found many good deals there. and the privately owned restaurants are good and decently priced.

escpecially octopus balls
and also. many of the souvenirs such as cds, figurines, etc are gonna be cheaper there than america since there will be an import tax on it. so japan still has many great deeals

clothes
a haircut
some food
CDs

yeah get a haircut there. for soem reason korean/japanese hairstyles and services (services that are specified and more popular in japan or korea) are les expensive in the motherland rather than in america.

im gonna get korean straight perm done soon. but its gonna cost me $300 bux in america as opposed to 50-100 in korea.

go visit twisthead.

Oh yea, I wonder if I should get a Japanese haircut there, lol. That could be interesting...I hope they don't do anything really crazy though... I'm planning to go to Osaka and from there visit Tokyo and Kyoto for sure. This is during Christmas and New Years though. Does that change a lot? And no, I'm not going to look for panties.. -_-

Porn!

RAMENNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! i remembered i got the seafood one, and i brought a whole box back home.

japanese dolls are a cool pressie for people back home

i'll collect and read all the rare Hentia i can get my hand into.

Plus i'll try to visit a Ghesia house... whooop go japan!

I don't think its wise ask questions about Japan in this forum. AF is a very chinese-dominated forum and most Chinese are still pissed off at Japan.

Maybe go to a Japanese message board?

edit: btw, I like japan for its indie music acts. There's some good bands from Japan.

Sometime ago, I made a request to the owner of this site to make AF in to a chinese military forum but i never gotten a reply.

toki, why do you bring Korea into everything?

Don't buy toys, its a waste of money. If your not Chinese, i would suggest going to shrines or temples. The one in Kobe had a temple over-looking a garden pond, quite beautiful. I'd imagine it would look magestic in Spring with the cherry blossoms throwing their leaves at you. It had a warm cozy feeling. Quite clean too really.

wel on this thread. i did give good advice on what to buy there. and mentioned korea because of the ferry ride between kroea and japan and how kyushu has good blowfish. and talked about how asian hairstyles tend to be more expensive in america. is there somthing wrong with that?

im korean and a lot of my knowledge is from things korean. thats all

MUSIC AND CD'S THERE SO MANY GOOD BANDS FROM JAPAN

Well I'm half Chinese and half Japanese....can I go to the shrines and temples????

japanese pokka coffee is the best!

i`ll buy nihonto, so i can be the next himura kenshin- long lost batthousai...
