I certainly will.
The area Im going to be touring in will be on the Japan sea side.There arent too many cities in that area.Nigata and Akita being the biggest in the region.
:D
It's fifty-fifty... hum... Akita ? :D

Speaking of 100 yen shops. I'm quite surprised by their quality. Sometimes I see packages of stew or curry, or instant noodles there for 100 yen that otherwise sell for 200-300 yen at the super markets.

Additionally, quite a number of products I've noticed are also made in Japan..
