Editor's Take

If you only have time for one Pokemon card shop on this trip, start here. The English website, tax-free counter, and 68-seat play space all strip out the usual friction foreign visitors hit in Osaka's card shops — you can walk in, ask questions in English, and walk out with sealed product under the duty-free handling on the same visit.

    God i wanna go buy some shiny cardboard in Japan. I think I heard Osaka has some good card shops. I believe Hareruya is a big chain that sells pokemon cards. Just remember to bring cash/sleeves!
