things to buy in Japan?
So I'm a long time lurker but thought I would ask the experts for their opinion. I leave Friday for the Philippines for 34 days and I plan on taking a day in Japan on the way back. Not sure which airport yet but I'm hoping for Narita.
So what are the things I have to buy while there? I probably won't have room for rods but definetly room for reels and lures.

You do realize what group you're asking right?
I say, grab all the plastics and hardbaits that we don't get here that you can.

I figure I will just walk into the shop with no Japanese language knowledge, but an open pocketbook lol. I expect to blow all my money on crankbaits alone.

I would probably go after some swimbaits if that's your thing.
Re: things to buy in Japan?
custom or limited color megabass baits, megabass or shimano jdm reels, imakatsu baits, cool hats or t-shirts would be a good start

If you haven't seen it before…take it!…remember, if you have buyers remorse on something when you get back, post it here first!

JDM reels and lures! tuning parts.
Re: things to buy in Japan?
please note that usually one day layovers are usually not enough to get in and out of the tackle shops in tokyo as it is usually a 2 hour ride in and 2 hour ride back out from the airport to Shibuya where you will get the most tackle shops in a small area. Good luck.
