Kind of a necessity when you have such a sizable population crammed onto a series of small islands, but that also means they've had over 1000 years to work out how to do it.

Absolutely love this series. In early 2020 I booked a cruise which went to Japan and was so excited to go to a bunch of HardOffs... only for the pandemic to come along and cancel it. Oh well, at least we have Sendico and of course you're brilliant channel! Look forward to more from this series and of course you're haul at the end!
I’m so glad these uploads are so frequent! I thought they would be much more spread out so I’m thankful. I am glued to this series! Such a great idea and you’re executing it perfectly with the production quality. Looking forward to more
Toward the end of the vid, I could not tell if I was watching The Retro Future or a National Geographic special. The scenery is just majestic. As for that special edition Game Boy, I know you, Elliot, you bought it.
These videos are so great to see! For someone who lives in America where you can’t even get battery’s for a good price at this point seeing all of of the potentially lost media and so many good condition consoles just makes me so happy!
And here i was thinking i needed to fly all the way to Japan to score the amazing games for a bargain lol. But seriously I just recently made an account for sendico thx to your videos and I'm beyond impressed. The prices are so amazing and affordable unlike the prices i use to pay on ebay. I know i sound like those corny paid actors but I'm being generally honest, thank you so much! I can finally start getting my Gameboy and Famicom collection started!
You were meant to have that Sakura taisen gameboy. There's no way you did not buy it! 🙏 I guess we will have to find out on the next episode, or during your haul video. Incredible series man. Keep up the excellent work!!!
The Pokémon Mini made me unreasonably happy to see, it's a device that never got much attention, but was just such a cool little thing. I still have mine (Chikorita Green) as well as every game that came out for it that made it out of Japan, and I still play with it every now and then. Pokémon Pinball Mini is always pretty fun to go back to.
It's fun following your expirence doing what I loved doing myself in Japan! I'm glad there's still plenty of treasure to be found, you should have seen what it was like when Japan just opened, it was mental! I'm never going to financially recover...
Great new installment of this series Elliott. Really love Japan, I hope to go there someday as its on my bucket list. I dont want to be that creepy old guy buying video games at a Hard Off when its too late for me LOL
Been watching you for about 2 years and this series just seems so fitting for you. Finally being able to go and see the places that most of your videos content comes from is just perfect. Keep up the good work!
This series is great and is making me want to go to Japan and experience it all myself.
Год назад+1
Oh my god, want to give a big hug to Nanji san!. Had one origam on my last package, keep it like a treasure on my desk. Beautiful detail. Yes, sendico packaging is outstanding, never had a problem with them
I discovered hard-off on my first trip to Japan in 2017 and that sent the whole trip sideways turning it into a huge "thrifting across Japan" episode lmao Ended up moving here, and yet still thrifting! Probably most of the stuff in my apartment is from hard-off one way or another. Certainly helps that the japanese "Junk" rank is often close to "Like new" from ebay by our gaijin standards :P
I had a pocket Pikachu and have missed it every day since it was stolen. I love how many cool things you've found and fixed! Somewhat jealous that you were able to visit Japan and find all these cool treasures!
You know what, I think you bought that Sakura Game Boy for sure! 👀 So many great stuff for so cheap! Fantastic! Also breathtaking view, Japan is so beautiful!
Damn, all these hard off stores are way more filled with goodies than the ones I went to. I see so much stuff that I definitely would have dug a debt hole in my wallet for.
I can't believe you found all those old Game & Watch handhelds. Of all the many I had years ago and lost, that DK gave me the most memories. It's such a fun, challenging, and fascinating take on the original which added to me a very fun mechanic at the top with the crane and key, aped from DKjr of all things. Also that FDS you teased. I'm in the process of the video, curious if you got that thing. I've always wanted to make the attempt to fix one of them, tear down, gears, belt, the works, just to say I did it, and because I saw ways to rig it up with either of the US model systems which I think would be a real challenge.
you changed the thumbnail 3 plus times now, what gives LOL on a serious note, so cool you went and saw MT Fuji and experienced that, those retro shops are amazing, it's like being in a candy shop as a kid 😁😁
Honestly, I would have totally bought that Sakura GBC... and I know you totally picked that up. I can't imagine passing that up, especially if it is selling for double online.
That Sakura Wars Gameboy is honestly the only Gameboy I truly want. I've always loved the color of that and watermelon red N64. $300+ would make me too nervous to ever take it out of the box though lol.
This man encouraged me to get a gameboy. I start watching his videos, and before I know it, I have an Atomic Purple Gameboy Color with Pokèmon Yellow. Best £100 I’ve ever spent.
I have been watching these all in series now and love them. I hope you do more vids like this in the future, even if it's not Japan. I hope to do stuff like this too someday soon! Side note... you wanna sell me that Pokemon VHS Player? lmao
are you gonna make a small „guide“ on where to go if you want to combine seeing the culture and nature of the country with the console and retro stuff hunting? that would be really cool!
These mountains with all of those electricity towers and cables always remind me of the original Evangelion anime :) . That view is surely stunning! I hope that rare Gameboy is with you now :) .
Loving this! I am pretty sure you bought a gameboy micro, since 100$ is not that expensive for a mint one, and a gameboy light since here in europe is hard to find one in good condition for a fairy price. Also a Wonderswan since I've never seen one in person.
With how impressed you were by that one gameboy, I'm pretty sure you bought it. I wonder how many of those cheap, faulty consoles you bought. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
i think you've got a broken dsi and that game cube holder :) You are a self-control GOD, i would get all i could get until my credit card got refused.... What a wonderful trip.... PS: that transparent game boy light at the end is beautiful.
I can't believe you're in Toyama - it doesn't get enough love (not a lot to do there but...) it's beautiful and peaceful there. I'm also hella biased since my family's from there
Omg it’s amazing how cheap some of these really are! $50 for a gba sp is pretty good but $65 for a GameCube and gameboy player is unheard of! Also $100 is pretty good for a gba micro
I think u definitely bought a walkman. ive always wanted an og jdm tape walkman(obviously not one of the beautiful rare models) cuz you can very easily mod them/circuit bend them to accept eurorack CV and using various tape loops you can create an awesome retro synthesizer.
Elliot you're such a big baller I bet you marched straight up to the counter and said you'll buy the entire store and each of their mums flowers and a box of chocolates.
No question you bought that rare boxed one! Also a couple of questions: 1. Is haggling encouraged or not? 2. Is Sendico sending most of this back for you or have you brought a bunch of extra suitcases?
I can answer that for you! Haggling (unfortunately) is not possible in Hard Off, or many of the other buy-and-sell shops in Japan. As for number 2, we're handling it for him!
It always impresses me how compact everything in Japan is without looking cramped.
That always amazes me too!
it always looks super cramped
Kind of a necessity when you have such a sizable population crammed onto a series of small islands, but that also means they've had over 1000 years to work out how to do it.

I really hope you bought that gameboy.
Without a doubt you bought that Sakura GameBoy!
I can't believe i'm living my fantasy trip through your videos right now.
I love this series and i hope it would never end. I hope i can go to Japan some day😢
@Fippity_Fipper this is what most of us would be doing if we were going to Japan.
As coisas que ele acha barganha, custa o triplo pra gente... É foda
I love to see how cheap it is for many items that are coveted by the market and they're all kept in crazy good condition
Shut up

I'm absolutely loving this series man! I really want to go back to Japan again!
lucky you even went!
love the series im so happy for you to go to japan and thank you for filming and sharing with us.
It's fun following your expirence doing what I loved doing myself in Japan!
I'm glad there's still plenty of treasure to be found, you should have seen what it was like when Japan just opened, it was mental!
I'm never going to financially recover...
The Sendico staffs looks so wholesome, it makes me want to use their services just to support their business!
Great new installment of this series Elliott. Really love Japan, I hope to go there someday as its on my bucket list. I dont want to be that creepy old guy buying video games at a Hard Off when its too late for me LOL
Been watching you for about 2 years and this series just seems so fitting for you. Finally being able to go and see the places that most of your videos content comes from is just perfect. Keep up the good work!
I have one of those beautiful Origami Cranes in my game room. Such a lovely touch! Sendico's packaging is just beyond perfect!
I am absolutely loving all of these videos! From the nostalgia of the Gameboys to the views of Japan...this is fantastic!
Japan ftw, love how tidy and organised everything is (and how well kept their second hand stuff usually is)
The mountains are always stunning. Seriously, it can't be understated how beautiful the country is. Japan is so much more than Tokyo!
I’m loving this series. I have a friend who’s vacationing in Japan right now. I’ve sent him on a few missions after watching your videos.
Such an incredible series! get me in Japaaaan!!!! The car culture, the gaming culture I can't get enough
This series is great and is making me want to go to Japan and experience it all myself.
Oh my god, want to give a big hug to Nanji san!. Had one origam on my last package, keep it like a treasure on my desk. Beautiful detail. Yes, sendico packaging is outstanding, never had a problem with them
Eliot definitely has been watching Tokyo Lens videos, while angrily shouting about how he isn't buying any of the Game Boys.
your production quality has become amazing!
Elliot: "It's probably mint brand new!"
Sticker on the box: "scratches and dents, battery acid leakage marks on the display"
You're making my trip to Japan want to just be just retro game thrifting lol
I discovered hard-off on my first trip to Japan in 2017 and that sent the whole trip sideways turning it into a huge "thrifting across Japan" episode lmao
Ended up moving here, and yet still thrifting! Probably most of the stuff in my apartment is from hard-off one way or another. Certainly helps that the japanese "Junk" rank is often close to "Like new" from ebay by our gaijin standards :P
Shut up
Another great video as always, been loving this Japaneae series 🔥
Ya gotta love japaneae stuff
I so look forward to this series every time you drop a new episode, Elliot! Glad you had such an amazing trip!
Can’t wait to travel to Japan and hopefully find some gems 🔥
Me too one day I’ll get there!
Love these series! Keep them coming!
I had a pocket Pikachu and have missed it every day since it was stolen. I love how many cool things you've found and fixed! Somewhat jealous that you were able to visit Japan and find all these cool treasures!
I hope that you're able to do more trips like these in the future. You make such high quality content. c:
Looks like an amazing trip thanks for sharing it with us.
as always the music and video shooting in these videos are amazing and wonderful!
I wish the UK had shops like this, super cool finds!
You know what, I think you bought that Sakura Game Boy for sure! 👀
So many great stuff for so cheap! Fantastic!
Also breathtaking view, Japan is so beautiful!
I love this channel. We can’t let Game Boy die!
That Pokémon VHS player is so cute 🥹
Damn, all these hard off stores are way more filled with goodies than the ones I went to. I see so much stuff that I definitely would have dug a debt hole in my wallet for.
Shut up
I saw the pokemon video player briefly in your last vid and thought it was strange that you didn't mention it, now I see : ) can't wait for that one!
I watched so many retro game hard-off tour on RUclips and you did the best.
Dude all those PSPs had me drooling! Some really cool finds
didn't see a psp 3000 tho or a go
Amazing video! Those hard offs always have a bunch of interesting stuff. Glad you had a good time in japan Elliot
I can't believe you found all those old Game & Watch handhelds. Of all the many I had years ago and lost, that DK gave me the most memories.

I'd love to see a video with you and Chris Broad (Abroad in Japan) dining and drinking out.
Truly a trip of a lifetime, thank you for taking on this journey.
Genuinely impressed with how well everything is organised in these stores, everything looks so good!
Shut up
Thanks for these series of videos Elliot, I hope you can manage to find even more awesome stuff about handhelds in the whole world not just Japan.
you changed the thumbnail 3 plus times now, what gives LOL
on a serious note, so cool you went and saw MT Fuji and experienced that, those retro shops are amazing, it's like being in a candy shop as a kid 😁😁
really enjoying this series. thank you
Fantastic video as always, you've inspired me to start collecting gameboys
Honestly, I would have totally bought that Sakura GBC... and I know you totally picked that up. I can't imagine passing that up, especially if it is selling for double online.
That Sakura Wars Gameboy is honestly the only Gameboy I truly want. I've always loved the color of that and watermelon red N64. $300+ would make me too nervous to ever take it out of the box though lol.
I think you bought the Sakura Wars GBC, as finding an old special console in such a good shape is just amazing..!
bro defo bought a mega-duck
This man encouraged me to get a gameboy. I start watching his videos, and before I know it, I have an Atomic Purple Gameboy Color with Pokèmon Yellow. Best £100 I’ve ever spent.
This series is amaaaaaazing!!! I bet you got at least one game n watch!
I have been watching these all in series now and love them. I hope you do more vids like this in the future, even if it's not Japan.
I hope to do stuff like this too someday soon!
Side note... you wanna sell me that Pokemon VHS Player? lmao
9:12 I just melted a bit, especially seeing that beautiful Rayquaza holo box. I want it so bad 😢
This has been an awesome journey, another banger.
are you gonna make a small „guide“ on where to go if you want to combine seeing the culture and nature of the country with the console and retro stuff hunting? that would be really cool!
I recently saw a new video from tronicsfix where he said he wasnt sure how to fix game boys and i straight away thought of this channel
These mountains with all of those electricity towers and cables always remind me of the original Evangelion anime :) . That view is surely stunning!
I hope that rare Gameboy is with you now :) .
Can't wait to see the after-trip haul vid, going to be wild
On episode 3 I'm still utterly shocked by the deals. I hope you got that boxed famicon gba!
Superb choice in music for these videos, Elliot
Damn, that soundtrack which is starting at 7:14 is FREAKIN AWESOME!
This place is definitely a bucket list when i visit Japan
Loving this! I am pretty sure you bought a gameboy micro, since 100$ is not that expensive for a mint one, and a gameboy light since here in europe is hard to find one in good condition for a fairy price. Also a Wonderswan since I've never seen one in person.
With how impressed you were by that one gameboy, I'm pretty sure you bought it. I wonder how many of those cheap, faulty consoles you bought. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Awesome work man.
You surely bought the Gameboy Color Sakura edition!
I’m confident you bought a bunch of rare themed portables that you are gonna repair for future videos.
i think you've got a broken dsi and that game cube holder :)
You are a self-control GOD, i would get all i could get until my credit card got refused....
What a wonderful trip....
PS: that transparent game boy light at the end is beautiful.
I can't believe you're in Toyama - it doesn't get enough love (not a lot to do there but...) it's beautiful and peaceful there. I'm also hella biased since my family's from there
I always enjoyed your content but now I know you’re in Game Boy heaven with all those consoles!
You did indeed buy the Sakura Taisen/Wars gameboy!, sadly we never got any of the old Saturn games officially translated...
I’d love to see travelogue videos like this for other countries as well.
we also need an episode with all the goodies you bought on that trip and how much everything was
Of course you've bought it :). I cannot imagine you leaving such a beautiful thing behind :D.
You 100% bought that Donkey Kong game and watch. I had that very one way back in the day!!!
Can't wait for the Pokemon VHS player repair video cheers mate
Man said “Secura” and is walking freely in Japan
I freaking love this series!
Omg it’s amazing how cheap some of these really are! $50 for a gba sp is pretty good but $65 for a GameCube and gameboy player is unheard of! Also $100 is pretty good for a gba micro
You are living our dream man, among GBCs, GBAs, casios watches and cool japanese food, really a dream!!!!!!!!!!!
the sakura gbc is so gorgeous im going to guess you picked that boy up for sure
Mount Fuji makes the scenery shots look so awesome
I think u definitely bought a walkman. ive always wanted an og jdm tape walkman(obviously not one of the beautiful rare models) cuz you can very easily mod them/circuit bend them to accept eurorack CV and using various tape loops you can create an awesome retro synthesizer.
“Do you think I spent $300 on this minty Sakura Gameboy Color?”
Yes yes yes I definitely think you did. I would have in a heartbeat.
My prediction for what you bought is……. Some really noice shizz! I’m jealous. Awesome series mate!
Elliot you're such a big baller I bet you marched straight up to the counter and said you'll buy the entire store and each of their mums flowers and a box of chocolates.
Elliot, i'm eagerly awaiting the Pikachu VCR video, my Pikachu VCR is also in need of repair, so i'm hoping both of ours have the same issue.
That pokemon VHS is a MUST BUY! What a find!!!
You bought the Sakura Gameboy Color. You can’t miss out on an opportunity like that! 😂🤣😂
Awesome finds!!!!! You are the king of nintendo finds!
No question you bought that rare boxed one!
Also a couple of questions:
1. Is haggling encouraged or not?
2. Is Sendico sending most of this back for you or have you brought a bunch of extra suitcases?
I can answer that for you! Haggling (unfortunately) is not possible in Hard Off, or many of the other buy-and-sell shops in Japan.
As for number 2, we're handling it for him!
@@Sendico-En Thank you!
You absolutely bought that retro-looking, mini Sony antenna attachment thingymabob. Don't lie to me, Elliot.
