Game Hollywood
Claiming to be the best place to buy US games in Japan, Game Hollywood is an ex-pat favourite. Visitors might scoff at the high import prices, but Game Hollywood embodies the Japanese vision of what an American game shop looks like, complete with the Stars and Stripes over the doorway. It's located on the fifth floor, so keep an eye for a movie style logo surrounded by yellow lights. Not only is this an interesting location, it's also a good place for non-Japanese speakers to take a break from the aisles of aisles of indecipherable domestic games. Be aware that the "Asian versions" of Xbox 360 games (intended for South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore) are priced slightly lower than US imports. • Uchida Building 5F, 1-9-9 Soto-Kanda, Chiyoda-ku, +81 3 5297 3281, gmh.jp. Open 11am-8pm
