Visiting Tokyo Japan In March

[clarence garrett]

I am visiting the great City of Tokyo Japan in March. and I am wondering if there are any PFS players in the area whom i could visit while there. Maybe even run a game if enough players are in the city. as a venture captain I would be glad to run the new special or any other scenario requested. I would just need a host home or store to run the game in.

Also if anyone knows of stores who sell pathfinder in the Tokyo region I would love to visit the store(s) while over there.

If you have any information for me you can contact me at [e-mail]. or message me here. I look forward to meeting any players in the Tokyo area.

I'm not in Japan currently (though I go often), so I can't help on the "organizing a game" front, but the place to look for game stores in Tokyo is in Akihabara.

Two stores in particular are worth checking out: Yellow Submarine and Role&Roll Station. I know R&R carries D&D 4E books (in Japanese), and in the past they've run D&D Encounters, but whether they carry Pathfinder now I don't know (I find it unlikely).

Regardless, these stores are worth visiting (especially the ludicrously over-the-top Yellow Submarine, which often has anime cosplay girls wandering around) just to see ALL the models, toys, figures and so on. Generally, the "scene" is more of a weekday thing (probably because of the proximity of workers during the weekdays).

Your best bet for finding a game of *some* kind, besides posting here, is probably to find a forum frequented by expats living there teaching English and so on (I don't know one, but I imagine Google can find one *somewhere*) and see if there's interest in a game.

thank you i am already in touch with several ESL teacher groups ove there. and i am sending emails out to the USO to try and get something going on the bases this summer.

the Game stores have been added to my list of must see though. thank you for the information.

I'm in Japan and about 3 hours from Tokyo. We're busy organizing our first PFS games actually, so I'd love to be in contact with you.

I've been to Yellow Submarine, but not in Akihabara, a few times. Shinjuku Yellow Submarine has an RPG and boardgames floor (level 3 if I remember correctly). Pathfinder stuff is limited and expensive, but I usually buy off amazon.co.jp, which you can set to English.
