This popped up in my UTube suggestions...on one hand, I shouldn't be surprised, on the other, it just isn't fair. We need more US hobby stores like this one.

I visited about 7 years ago, that big layout is new. 

It was a great place to visit.  I took the subway a long ways out of the city center to get there!

I was there 6 months ago and it is more than what the video shows.  You just have to be there, like the Grand Canyon.

I also visited a bunch of other MRR shops in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.  If you every visit, your mind will be blown.  The Japanese are very serious about their N-scale trains.  Oh, prices are 40-60% cheaper than US prices and you get a full selection of Tomix, which is pretty much non-existent in the US (thank you Walthers!  :x).

Is there any US hobby store like that one?

Real toilets.  In my 15 days in the country, visiting 4 cities, I did not see one hole in the floor as toilets.
