Today I was in a shop that sold Dreamcast games and controllers, and more. I saw Sega Saturn, PC Engine, old Gameboy cartridges, and that was just the first floor.
I also saw old pictures of retainers Nd townspeople looking like frogs, fish, octopuses, cats, sparrows, and household items.
Also, my feet are as flat as can be and it isn’t even 15:00 yet.

@amdt Yes! Is it well known? I sort of stumbled across it on the way home and figured why not go into this shop… and I didn’t remember the name, either. But I found a URL in a picture I took. 😅
@kensanata That variety and volume of games could only be Super Potato! Yeah, it’s quite well-known these days amongst Japanese and tourists alike (especially the Akihabara store!). It started in Osaka, though.
@amdt Hehe. Here’s me giving me a pat on my own back. 😁
Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum was small and nice. The Osaka Museum of Art with its special exhibition from April 17 to October 6 on funny people and animal people was nice. The permanent collection was small. The Osaka Museum of History was nice because of all the models and the emphasis on the archaeology itself. The Shitennō-ji was not impressive. Other temples in Nara and Kyoto were better. Too bad I missed the gardens. #osaka #travel #review
I loved the market streets. The area where they sell lots of Kimchi south of Tsuruhashi. The area around Nippombashi and south into Den-Den town. I loved it all.
I wish I had the time (and friends with shared interests) to see Bunraku and all the other performances. But I didn’t see any of that and I feel like I missed something.
I wish I had an empty apartment and I could buy more cups and bowls and tea pots and lacquer ware. But I bought nothing.
Tomorrow I’m going back.

@kensanata Super Potato?
