I have some questions for anyone in Sapporo.
I'm going to Sapporo for the Snow Festival with a few friends next month. Aside from sightseeing, I'd like to look for illustration books, some games, and art supplies(Copic and other stuff).
A friend suggested a place called Daimarufujii CENTRAL (大丸藤井セントラル for art supplies. Seems like it's near the Sapporo JR Tower that we will visit so I think that's good.
My friend had no idea about games unfortunately. I would like to look for some(hopefully cheap) old PS2, Game Boy/GBA and DS games like the Sega Ages series and Gamecenter CX 2.
I've seen people mentioned Book Off. Is it like a Goodwill store for books and games? I have also seen people mentioned Softmap. Which one has better selections and which one is easier to find? I thought Book off might be good as I can look for books there as well.
Also what's a good place to go to get some anime goods? I know a couple of kids who are into Sketdance so I'm hoping to get maybe character charms for them. I kinda want to get small Nintendo and Ultraman figurines for myself, too.
The trip is sadly only for a few days though so I won't have much time(not to mention my sense of direction is horrible). If possible I would like to find places that are in the same area to save time. We will be in Sapporo and Otaru.
I appreciate any help. Thanks!
Book Off is pretty good, but they seem to vary massively from location to location.
I'll be in Sapporo from 7-11 Feb. PM me if you want some Gaf chillin!
