Oh wow.. what an amazing selection of car kits right there! Simply amazing having such a huge choice in one store! Thanks for sharing with us all James.
The hobby is alive and well in Tokyo! Geez JT you get around!! Looks like you are having a great time!!! Get an extra seat for all the kits you’re bringing back 🤤? Living the dream buddy! ✌️😎🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cool to see all those Aoshima kits in one spot. They sure have taken a liking to 1/32 scale lately. I like the music in the back ground with english commercials. Really interesting to see the selection. Thanks for sharing!!!!
I know, right? They had so much Aoshima there. I can’t start buying 1/32. I have so much already in 1/25-1/24 scale plus 1/12. I didn’t notice that the jingle was in English until someone else pointed it out. Funny really😁
Just another glorious place. So many cool kits and accessories. I love it. Thanks again for sharing. Hope you had a great trip. My grandmother was Japanese and I’d really love to visit Japan one day.
I could literally find a way to spend a few grand between both stores very quickly. I know my weakness at model shows. I couldn't imagine being in Japan and seeing every Japanese kit I've ever wanted in 2 locations. They'd be shipping model kits to my home address for 6 months straight!
Hi Rob, glad you enjoyed the video. I was restricted with luggage space because shipping would kill the deals to be had. I’ll do a stash add video this weekend.

Very familiar with the one up in Sapporo. And the online store? Well, the postman knows us well.😅 Can’t wait to see the treasures ya got James! Thanks for making these vids!
My wife is Japanese and has family in Tokyo. We get to visit usually yearly. We stay 2-3 weeks when we go and don’t travel too far. Last year we went to Yokohama.
yooo man! Can you please drop the address of this yodabashi camera shopping center? Im coming to japan this December and i would love to get my kits here! Thank you so much!
I’m going to Tokyo in August. I plan to spend 2,000 USD on Tamiya, mostly 1:42 scale planes and 1:24 scale cars. Can I fill up 3 suitcases? Cool video!
@@ScaleModelExperiment Thank you for the advice! Would Yodobashi be better for paints, too? I’m looking to get some Tamiya aircraft gray-about 10 cans.
@@ScaleModelExperiment I’m reading that aerosol sprays are allowed for checked baggage, with limitations. I think the Tamiya aerosols will be okay. Could I buy spray Tamiya paints at other stores?

Hi Karl, yes it is overwhelming to only get to pick one kit maybe 2 with all that selection to choose from. Thanks for watching bud.
Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Alan👍

Hey Kevin, I truly believe that the hobby is bigger in Japan than the US. More supplies, tools and manufacturers.
@@ScaleModelExperiment yep🫡🇺🇸
Nice hobby shop, thanks for sharing James

@@ScaleModelExperiment I am so glad!! And thank you for sharing it with us. Very enjoyable videos.

Interesting that that have their announcement in English along with Japanese, I guess they get a lot of American tourists
I didn’t notice that but you’re right!
Looks like it's time to add more kits to the stash. Thank you Aoshima!
They had a very big selection of Aoshima kits there, it was hard to choose just one 👍
Awesome video
Thanks Travis👍
That’s dreamland!!!!! Thanks for sharing James

Cool place James ❤
Thanks brother❤️
Very familiar with the one up in Sapporo. And the online store? Well, the postman knows us well.😅
Can’t wait to see the treasures ya got James! Thanks for making these vids!
Thanks Motion, I would be in real trouble if I had that kind of selection in my home town or could mail order without adding $20 for shipping. 👍
That Honda city r looked adorable
I think I need one now to complete my Kei car collection 😁. Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment.
Ooo a classic mini cooper 5:21
I’m glad that you enjoyed the video Trevor. Thanks for watching.
Probably a good thing for me there is not such a selection here in the usa. I'd go nuts and put a hurting on my wallet. 😅 thanks for sharing James
That’s for sure Dean! I’d have real problems staying away from there 👍
How long did you stay in Japan for ?
Did you travel within Japan?
My wife is Japanese and has family in Tokyo. We get to visit usually yearly. We stay 2-3 weeks when we go and don’t travel too far. Last year we went to Yokohama.
is that heaven?!
Kinda like I imagine it to be in Heaven👍
yooo man! Can you please drop the address of this yodabashi camera shopping center? Im coming to japan this December and i would love to get my kits here! Thank you so much!
There are many in town. The best is in Akihabara right outside the JR line train exit. The other one I go to is near Shinbashi near the train station.
@@ScaleModelExperiment thank you much for the advice!
Hey I wanted to ask, you you know if they have scribers? I wanna customize my gunpla model and I'm visiting japan in february.
Yes, the Yodobashi store in Akihabara has scribing tools. Also the Tamiya store has nice ones. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
So many cars. Where are all the planes and ships?
Sorry, they had rows of other stuff, I just focused on the cars 😁
Where's the footage of you coming out of the store with all those model kits in your arms.😊
Hahaha, you’d be disappointed. I only bought 1 kit that day. I’ll do a stash haul video soon.
I’m going to Tokyo in August. I plan to spend 2,000 USD on Tamiya, mostly 1:42 scale planes and 1:24 scale cars. Can I fill up 3 suitcases? Cool video!
I recommend going to Akihabara if you want more selection. Yodobashi Camera and Tam Tam hobby are my go to spots for tools and supplies.
@@ScaleModelExperiment Thank you for the advice! Would Yodobashi be better for paints, too? I’m looking to get some Tamiya aircraft gray-about 10 cans.
@davidebert8034 they won’t sell spray cans to you at the Tamiya Store. You can’t take them on a plane.
@@ScaleModelExperiment I’m reading that aerosol sprays are allowed for checked baggage, with limitations. I think the Tamiya aerosols will be okay. Could I buy spray Tamiya paints at other stores?
@davidebert8034 yes at tam tam hobby shop they have them.
WOW! I don't even have enough funds! lol So, I heard Japanese, English, maybe Chinese and...Korean? They cover all the bases.
Hi JD, thanks for watching👍 yes they do cover an assortment of languages in the jingle.
Good Lord! I'd come out of that place a lot poorer than when I went in!!
Yeah! You got that right. It’s hard to remember that you only have so much space in your luggage.
I saw more I'd want to build in this shop.
But, where were the cameras? It was a camera shop. 😉
Hi Ray, Yodobashi camera is a 9 floor super store with different stuff on every floor. The model kits were just a tiny part of the store.👍
@@ScaleModelExperiment ahhhhh, now I see! There were more floors.
I will go broke at this store lol😂
If I had a store like that locally I would be broke for sure👍
Ok ok ferrari 488 gte please please, yahooo. Ok please. I think thats good. So did i make a good impression.
Yes you did Warren! Thanks for watching 👍
Thats just ridiculous. Wow
That’s a good word… ridiculous 👍
