Ok second trip was in the summer 2019. I was going to a wedding in HK, so thought that I may as well go few days early and visit Japan again. This time went alone, so was free to visit all the shops I wanted. Essentially spent a day in Akihabara. Lots of Plarail, needless to say, but if I was going to buy everything I wanted I'd come back with a maxed credit cards

Rest of the day in Akihabara going through loads of second-hand hobby shops. Majority of the stock was car models, but I also found some shops with Plarail. I didn't always feel comfortable taking photos of displays, so this is only a glimpse of what can be found there. This was where I bought the Yamanote train we run in our videos.

Was also looking for a PS4 copy of Densha de Go, but only found PS2 version with a controller. I was very tempted to buy it, but the size of the box would make it difficult to manage my luggage.
