So I'm heading to Japan in 2 months. I lived there for a few years about a decade ago but never really got into arcade stuff until recently.

I've seen...precious little, at least as of the past year or so, about arcade stores in Japan. I know about G-Front (and how it can be expensive), MAK, apparently TRY! is now mail order only...but still info seems scarce. Are there any must-hit places, especially for NeoGeo carts and PCBs?
 
I *Feel* like there was a collector who was in a similar situation, traveling back to the area, and posted a full photo itinerary / documentary of where they went over a several week period.

It was posted on one of the European forums I believe - if it wasn't on NeoGeo then I would try some of the others like flipjuke.fr or arcadeitalia.net.
 
G-Front no longer has a shop and sells on YHJ from his house, shops like Fujita are gone and a lot has changed .
For best info go to the shmups forum or Arcade Otaku forum , some Eur/US people on there still live in Japan like Jeff ( Rancor ).

I want to say there was a post here by someone a while back similar to this with pictures of shops that sold PCBs and what not.
