☀️ Afternoon — CARD HUNTING TIME

Nipponbashi / Den-Den Town Card Shop Walk

This is the main event for singles! You did recon yesterday — now it's time to buy. Plan to visit 3-5 shops minimum.

Strategy:

1. You already know where things are from yesterday's recon
2. Hit the shops with the best prices on your target cards first
3. Compare across shops for anything new
4. Don't hesitate — this is your main card hunting day

Shops to hit: Card Labo, Hobby Station, Mandarake Namba (bulk/vintage), Book-Off (discounted sealed), various smaller shops

Business tip: Ask for tax-free on purchases over ¥5,000 per store. Have passport ready. Consolidate purchases at one store when possible.

📍 Nipponbashi Area ⏱️ 2-3 hours
