Sadly, The only thing I bought in Japan is this.

It was 2,380 Yen after a discount plus tax. That's $20.66 US.

At Tamiya Korea, it was 34,800 won and that's $30

Just checked Amazon, and it's $24 with free shipping lol.

But one bottle of acrylic paint was $1.72 in Korea. At least Double in Toronto where I am. Also spent $10CDN on a MarkSetter in Canada. It was only $3 CDN in Korea. :(

Then I went over to Japan.

Tamiya products and other Japanese stuff were much cheaper in Korea than North America. And Japan, it was even cheaper. 

 

Yodobash Camera

in Kyoto

This is a multi level department store, and this floor dedicated to toys

I didn't buy anything but the Inintial D AE86. It was about $5

I should have shopped there more because when I went to Osaka, I didn't really have time to shop around, and this Yodobash place was pretty good. 

 

Also went to the camera level

 

Osaka

Kids Land

Found this place online and it was an amazing place, but for me, I had more things to buy at Yodobash camera.  I had a very little time to shop in Osaka

 

 

 

Volks

Just quickly ran in to take some photos

 

 

Others shops I didn't have time to go into

Not really a model shop tour, but I tried to visit some of them while I was there.

In korea.

First stop, about 15 min subway ride from where I stay, I happened to walk by it while I was in the mall for something else

The Gundam base

 

Another place

Just a small corner at a mall

 

Supermarket

At this mega supermarket in a toy section. Korea being home of Academy, you could find it everywhere.
