Japan Game Junk

Kind of a regular old Hard Off trip visit description this time, being the one in Sodegaura, Chiba, on May 12, 2024. Not the best place for rare retro games but a great place if you're looking to collect every computer Apple ever made.

The second store visited in Kisarazu, Chiba on May 12, 2024, this is a favors Hard Off store. Huge with lots of stock and a take off said to find, it has one of the most surprising deals I've seen although it's more useful these days as a toddler's nap area than a game accessory.

The first store visited in a drive through Kisarazu, Chiba, this is a Momotaro Kingdom store manager by the Surugaya chain. Some super cheap stuff and super expensive stuff, but in the end I was happy to take advantage of the store's wide array of 100 yen junk games, CDs, and Blu-ray/DVDs

Formerly a great store that feel on hard times but now is seeing a resurgence, I describe visiting a WonderGoo store in Mobara, Chiba on May 12, 2024. Also I share information on the best donuts in the world.

The final of the 3 Fuji Shoten stores visited on May 6, 2024 in Ibaraki prefecture, this one in Ishioka city. I finally fulfill a dream I've sought for years, I describe the most programmable pad ever, and do people still like those Funko Pop things?

The second Fuji Shoten store visited on May 6, 2024, this visit delivered on some manual-less eye-less animation gameness. Spawn is cheap, a creepy cell phone call, and Domino's Pizza.

On this May 6, 2024 visit to Fuji Shoten in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki, I buy further access to the deepest dungeon and a Danganronpa bag. For only 1500 yen you can also apparently buy a free game on the PS5.

Currently an Enterking store yet on next remodeling to be a Surugaya, some information on a visit on May 5, 2024 to the branch in Nishi Arai, Adachi ward, Tokyo. The new in box Virtual Boy stock continues! Plus go upstairs for some SMAP and Tolstoy!

One of the best stores for game searchers in Japan, as visited on May 5, 2024, this is the very nice Surugaya branch in Omiya ward of Saitama city. My only reason not to recommend that you go there right now is that you might buy good stuff before I can the next time I go.

A wonderful store with amazing surprises... in store... Visiting the Surugaya branch in Utsunomiya, Tochigi on May 4th, 2024, I discount a cache of new in box historical artifacts that hopefully will help ruin the day of a few greedy online game sellers
