Daughter says she is buying a Switch this year and I'll get EDF 5.
Food is great though apart from oden, okonomiyaki and takoyaki - sorry! First two have no taste and I don't do seafood for the third.
Much prefer tonkatsu or yakiniku but really look forward to some lovely cold somen at dinner after a hard morning doing the rice harvest, really refreshing.
First thing I always buy on arrival at KIX though is a couple of bottles of Ito-En for the bus home. Absolutely love the stuff, even the stronger version.
I'm there in about a month, can't wait.

Any recommendations for contemporary Jap only purchases whilst out here? I have pretty much every console, though I use my (region free) Switch the most; was thinking of getting a Jap 3DS too to help with options. Have plenty of space for random accessories or controllers. Will make do with a suitcase full of retro otherwise. Thanks!
Below info seems you may have done it the way o suggested below anyway.
Book offs/Hard Off are a good shout for stuff, try Shibiya/Shinjuku etc. Like others have said Akiba not the same as it used to be, the big black building (not sure of name) has some cool sealed stuff at the top. Super Potato although over priced sometimes ain’t bad. This is from a year or two ago. Usually countryside areas have plenty of games so if you are ever in others parts of Japan they may have some crazy cheap stuff. Buy Nintendo points as Kryss said and get some games from the Japanese Switch store/Cartridge stuff.Last edited by JU!; 12-07-2018, 20:36.

Its similar to Akihabara but cheaper as its not as tourist-oriented. I like that it has an old mall feel to it and its great to check out if you like somewhere that has an old town feel about it.
I did see one or two systems marked as junk but didn't want to try my luck.
