Pic­ture: Yodo­bashi Cam­era, Shin­juku, Games Store. Play­sta­tion 3, Nin­tendo Wii.  Maybe some­thing Xbox360. If you look hard enough.

The nor­mal PC “bits” store in in the lower level (B1) of the main store. Here is abso­lutely any­thing and everything you will ever need for PC stuff:

Pic­ture: Image, on tree in Shinjuku

Pic­ture: Qual­ity mer­chand­ise from Japan

Pic­ture: I jump on a busy JR Yama­n­ote from Shin­juku to Tokyo Sta­tion. Goal: Imper­ial Palace Gardens

From note in the above pic­ture: “Shel­ter for People Who Can­not Go Back Home” That is, homeless

Pic­ture: Guard House (old, not new) at Imper­ial Palace. Note: the guards are not ninjas

Pic­ture: This was taken at the East­ern entrance to the Imper­ial Palace. I loitered around this area as there were many secur­ity guys with ear pieces look­ing nervous. More nervous with a sweaty anglo-saxon guy stand­ing around watch­ing (ie: me). They waved me on, just in case I was a white ter­ror­ist intent on doing some­thing evil. I was just inter­ested! Even­tu­ally, a car rushed past on this road and every­one returned to normal.
