ヨドバシカメラ - Yodobashi Camera

Everyone knows that Japan makes the coolest mobile phones, toys, cameras, video games, TVs, and toilet seats, etc. Where do you go in Japan when you want to find all of this stuff? You go to Yodobashi Camera, provided your city has one. Yodobashi, in Umeda, has everything you could ever want, including restaurants and a Comme Ca Ism among all the other gadgets. The Umeda store is about 8~10 floors in total of awesome and is actually more entertaining than going to the Mall of America in Minneapolis. Sorry, America, you don't have a Yodobashi Camera. The great thing about Yodobashi Camera is that, like almost all of the other stores in Japan, it has a point card - one point per every yen you spend, so it can add up. Moreover, you could spend several days in Yodobashi and probably not see everthing there is to see. I haven't even mentioned the service in the store, it is just like the rest of Japan - superlative. Like my friend Jon would say, "日本がアーサムです."
