I like the momentary diversion to the Shrine, its interesting to see those things, hopefully you can give a moment to other culturally significant/different things in your future vg travels
I love these types of vids. The strolling through the neighborhoods , helps those who can't make it at the moment to come along with ya and enjoy the scenic route.
I laughed when you said that before you went into the store very funny as am a guy who likes the same thing lol great video keep it up I like your videos :)
Visiting the shrine was a very welcome feature for me! One of my favourite things when being in a Japaneese city was stumbling upon a nice looking temple or shrine on my way to something else! So this really takes me back! Also, good Hard Off indeed!
Great content! You should consider getting a gimble or some sort of stabilizer for your vlogs. Love your vids of walking exploration to video game stores.
there are great content on this channel and I love to watch them but have to say at the end of some of his longer videos which are around 20+ min long I feel a bit nauseous and have to stop the videos for a while.
Great video Jim looks a good Hard Off store for Tokyo any chance you could please show any PC big box games in future videos it looked like there were a few boxes of them in there.
super late but finally getting around to this one, these hard-off trips are always fun to watch! would probably try to give those BEMANI controllers a good home, though! that and some of the famicom stuff for sure.
Any idea why Majora’s Mask was sold in a big box in Japan (seen around 10:51)? Was the expansion pack included, which I believe was required to play the game? It was sold separately or as a pack-in with DK64 in the States, but not with Majora’s Mask.
Those are really good prices for some of these boxed super famicom games. I think I got some of those games for the same price or higher loose at other hard-offs around Tokyo.
I love your game hunting videos! I think if you had a stabilizer though or something to keep the camera still while you walk, it'd be so much better. I think you had one at some point?
I have a question, when he hunts these games down a lot of them are or at least look near mint but is it possible for every single one to be like that or do the store people wrap them up so nobody steals them?
about book off DVD never u find good staff but go to book off super Bazard , thats better ... and about this OIZUMI , i was there 2 weeks ago and it was close for summer time , i was piss but thxx u ! cause u show me your video . COOL MAN
G’day Jim, what’s crackin’, you ever played Hokuto Ga Gotoku, if you have a PS4, but not played it, you are definitely missing out mate! It’s Hokuto No Ken and Ryu Ga Gotoku (Yakuza) combined! Definitely check it out mate, you won’t regret it! Ciao!!!👋
Cool video as usual, just a piece of advice, be really cautious when you film in public places like a crowded street, especially when you walk behind a woman like the one appearing around 00:53. Being a man and moreover a foreigner, you don’t want to face any accusation (understand: you’re guilty and you’ll have to prove you’re not) resulting you being in big trouble (similar to what can happen on the train if a female accuses you of sexual harassment). Cheers
The prices are almost as bad as ebay, I wish I didn't hear about that HNK game, I looked on ebay and they want $50-$Ludicrous for it, game collectors forcing people with reasonable expectations to emulate.

YES! These city walks are my favorite videos from your channel!
Thanks, Jim. Awesome video. Thanks especially for telling us where you go instead of many other RUclipsrs who seem to conveniently leave that out!
I love how Japanese pack the games, it’s clean like MINT condition 👍

Even the Bookoff in NYC just has books, mangas, music CDs, illustration books. No used games. Thanks for store visits and places in Japan 👍
nice hardoff session Jim. hope you don't lose motivation / love for japan and games :)
I could watch you walking to stores all day man, love the tunes you throw on as well!

I agree! Definitely gotta get some stabilization rig fo' sho'!
Cell-phone gimbals have become super-affordable. I see games in this video that cost more than what I gave for mine. A must buy!

Tig o'l bitties haha can't get enough of these hard off visits. Keep them coming
Such a nice neighborhood it seems... great video as always Jim o/
Nice way to end August😊
I gotta visit Japan I would have so much fun diggin through all the bargain stuff even the loose gameboy carts I would be in heaven.
that was a pretty good sized game section. and i cant wait to see more stuff you bring to your online business
Now I know this will be great to see Jim. Loving your game searching and browsing uploads. 8^)
Anthony..
Yo that ridge racer 4 opening on the subway had me hype
These famicom cartriges are just art!
Another great vid..love seeing all those "junk" carts and boxed consoles..v cool😎
You'd think going to a shrine would be more serene, but those cicadas were popping the f off, holy shnikes.
I have done that walk from the station to hard off. This was in the middle of August 2018 and over 90 degrees and 90 humidity. Never again!
This was a great one. Really enjoyed it.
These are always great!
the bargain bin part was the the best
Top notch quality video and content

Great video dude!
The old Guyver OVA series is a gem. Too bad it only lasted about 12 episodes.
Nice selection from Ridge Racer 4
your music choice is nice
I'm always amazed at how easy it is to find retro games in Japan compared to Canada.
Yeah. Not even a Game Boy Advance SP and I really want one
Those are really good prices for some of these boxed super famicom games. I think I got some of those games for the same price or higher loose at other hard-offs around Tokyo.

It's been 10 year since I went to Japan. I need to go back and hop on the JR :)
Aaah, what's the outro song in these videos? Sounds familiar but can't figure it out!
.Hack games for the PS2.
Japan: $5-10
America: $60!
Another awesome vid! whats the track playing at 5:20?
Is it really that less populated there in Japan? I can barely see people on the streets.
Nice pick ups there. Damn that Pc engine looks like brand new.
That bass in the beginning song of your video.... My sweet behemoth! Where is that from?????!!?!
My local HARD OFF are selling games a little only. Because not Tokyo.
From what anime is the ending scene?
Hokutonoken
I have a question, when he hunts these games down a lot of them are or at least look near mint but is it possible for every single one to be like that or do the store people wrap them up so nobody steals them?
Song at 5:20??!!!?!
Another great video! Can you link the google maps to the location?
The art works on the Japanese boxes are always better
The sound of cicadas is featured in Anime for good reason.
This was like shenmue with better graphics
Chasing metal wolf chaos on the og xbox. Do you have a copy?
Great video as always! Can you rent a bike in Oizumi? I saw a lot of them in this video.
How much was the PC engine ?
those prices are very high for such old games.
about book off DVD never u find good staff but go to book off super Bazard , thats better ... and about this OIZUMI , i was there 2 weeks ago and it was close for summer time , i was piss but thxx u ! cause u show me your video . COOL MAN
Hello, what is the name of the town? I do not locate the store by google maps, greetings!
0:12 Song name?
Yeah, $125 for SotN on the Saturn sounds about right.
Cool type r
Hello Jim are they any good game gear games in japan
Every time my husband and I watch one of your videos i keep yelling out which ones I want...sigh....my husband just laughs
hey what's the name of this shrine?
Great intro ☺ ♥ 🇯🇵
I want to see nintendo 3ds games exclusive for japan
One of two things I would like to get is PC engine and or a mega drive.
Do you know a vhs guy who would ship to the uk?
Do you know if marvel vs capcom 3 ultimate PS4 has an English option? Great content by the way I just subscribed!
How backlogged are you on orders, KidShoRyuKen? I contacted you over a month ago, and you said you were still pricing things.
Good luck finding even loose carts for less than 20 in western countries
Japan looks like retro game Heaven.
Que legal amo games ❤

Gambare goemon II it's a big deal
You ARE in good shape for being as old as you are. XD And cute. :P
The prices are almost as bad as ebay, I wish I didn't hear about that HNK game, I looked on ebay and they want $50-$Ludicrous for it, game collectors forcing people with reasonable expectations to emulate.
20$ rockman 7 and 99$ on this fucking ebay !
How do you get footage like that aboard the train? You the fucking conductor?
That's footage I found online, I didn't shoot it, I don't know who did.
Mmmmm pc engine
