See Flickr for the complete photo set For photos of Tenshi no Sato, see my previous post Tenshi no Sato (aka “Angel’s Den”) is the heaven for Volks doll owners (website). Located in Kyoto a short walk away from the JR Saga-Arashiyama station, it is a facility dedicated for allowing doll owners and their dolls to com and relax (and take pictures of course).

See Flickr for the complete photo set Went to Tenshi no Sato (aka Angel’s Den) in Kyoto for my last traveling day in Japan. For those who don’t know, Tenshi no Sato is the Super Dollfie/Dollfie Dream haven (reservation required). Took a bunch of pics there with my new DDH-07 dollfie (see next blog post), then we wandered around Kyoto Station a bit.

See Flickr for the complete set More shopping in Akihabara, followed by a trip to the local izakaya for nomi-hodai (“all you can drink”) ; 3

See Flickr for the complete photo sets Back to Akihabara for more shopping! Like in Akihabara P1, these are just a sample of pictures (see Flickr sets for the rest)… I spent a lot of my time cataloguing each store for my upcoming Akihabara Shopping Guide, so these aren’t as flashy as the first post.

See Flickr for the complete photo sets Nakano Broadway is a shopping mall right outside the Nakano station and at the end of another long covered mall. It is an otaku shopping heaven as it is also the birthplace of Mandarake, the famous chain of second hand anime goods (“second hand” being stuff like “minor box damages” or “opened once”, not “mysterious sticky stuff all over”).

So last year right after finishing university, my friends and I decided to go to Japan for our graduation trip. It was a blast and not only did we visit many new places, but it was also when I started down the road of figure collecting journey. This summer, just a bit over a year later, me and two other friends decided to return once again for a two week vacation!
