With this
mission, I decided to try the 3 closest retro digging spots to central
Tokyo I could find, heading out an hour from The Tokyo Sky Tree
landmark..What would we find today??
If you`re a fan of the Japanese video game TV show ”Game Center CX”, you may have seen the episode where Arino visits a huge used goods warehouse outside of Tokyo, known as "Chiba Kanteidan". What you may not know is that Kanteidan is a chain of stores located countrywide and Chiba is a very large area.Chiba alone has over 10 of these warehouses!
When I started re-buying my old gaming faves of yesteryear I began to realise that going out and wasting train fare wasnt always the best idea, especially as the year draws to a close and starts getting chilly.
I`m writing this as someone that has been to this town more times than I can count and the "first time visit" sparkle has more than worn off, so
if you feel you might be offended or worried that your Tokyo trip might
be ruined by my old man cynicism or lack of fanboyism or reverence in
this review, you have been warned..
