    Is it worth a visit? Is there good shops for electronics, Japanese films, etc? And of coarse, most importantly, is there any stationary shops that sell foreign pens? Ohhh and food....Yumm. How was it for those of you that have been?

    Well there is definitely good food XP I don't really know about pens because I haven't been there since before I have started spinning. I'm pretty sure there are stores for all those Japanese things but it could be pricey. It's fun to go with friends :P

    Yeah there's some pretty good food stores and the homeless people that stare at you when you walk by.

    Eh. Food is pretty good. The Kinokuniya there only really has Hyper Jells and lakubos and vinyl tape in various colors. The plus is that since it's not a really busy place, there aren't very many weaboos. Oh and the Marukai there has Peach Mitsuya Cider. But last time I had to drink it while I walked through skid row.

    Last time I checked (which was a while ago, I guess), you could get Signo DXs at Walmart and Office Depot no problem. And you can find old HGRs at the UPS store.

    I just went to Little Tokyo in LA on saturday I live in LA, and I go shopping in the Little Tokyo plaza all the time they have a lot of good food, my personal favorite is the "Frying Fish", "Mitsuru Cafe", and "Daikokuya Ramen" <--best ramen in LA (get there early... trust me >.<) Definitely worth visiting ^.^

    about the stationary shops... there is a place called "TOKYO LIVING" that have some pens There are a lot of small shops scattered all around the place so the best thing to do is enjoy your day walking around Little Tokyo I recommend going 1st street, that's were they have most of the stationary shops

    There's a Tokyo living here in Irvine too. It's not "that" great but they got stuff like rikota highlighters and fake lakubos and stuff.
