I'll be honest me and my son's built a Tamiya grand hauler with the sound kit and a flat bed trailer. It's hands down my absolute favorite build we have ever done.

" I guess Tamiya are popular in Japan " lol understatement of the year! They are the biggest and most popular brand world wide since the 70's and come from Japan

Hi everyone, I live in Tokyo. Just FYI this same shop is also in the Tokyo Akihabara district - in case you are heading to Japan but not getting to Osaka. I think the locations are listed on the website. Thanks for the great vid hope you are enjoying Japan!!

It's like all those Tamiya catalogues I lusted after as a kid have finally come to life. Cannot wait to go to Japan this year.

You are the king of motion blurrr!

In 1984 when I was a child my first ever RC was the Tamiya Grasshopper. I had a lot of friends who were into RC and the most available brand were Tamiya especially during the mid 1980s. In the US during the 80s If you saw any hobby grade rc it was most likely a Tamiya. Many rc enthusiasts started off with Tamiyas. You guessed it, internet wasn’t invented yet so young boys assembled Tamiya 1/10 buggies with knobby tires.

That place is awesome thanks for the tour!

Tamiya...great childhood memories. Flying into Japan in July and I’m more excited to see this than Mt. Fuji😂

wow, thanks! to be honest I wasn't sure if I had time to visit the store, but I'm glad I did and this post makes it all worth it!

So amazing. My local shops have 20 kits only and they’re on shelves that are 20 ft in the air so you can’t look at them anyway!

My wife is Japanese, I have been there many times and I agree that a good part of the charm of Japan is in that you can't understand a word yet its not intimidating. Japanese TV is hilarious even if you don't speak Japanese. I suppose it was easier for me being that I am married to a translator.

I ran the English side of two RC shops when I lived in Japan. Rainbow RC in Kanagawa and D-Drive Sports in Yokohama. Japan has a way different attitude when I come to RC. It’s a way better life style in general. Everyone think as a group and wants everyone to have fun. And Tamiya is the biggest RC manufacturer in the world.

this hobby store looked like it had only cars and car parts, but the long aluminum tubes could have been helicopter tail booms.

In japan Kyosho and Tamiya are not “old” brands, they are huge there. They have tracks that you can race at for free, but it has to be one on their cars.

Cool video! My first proper RC was The Grasshopper followed by the hilarious Wild Willy. Happy days indeed!!😃👍

I moved to a new house back in the late 90s and my mom left my Tamiya Avante 2001 and my Tamiya Falcon(1st rc car before Avante) in a storage locker never to be seen again. It was a shame because I loved that Avante 2001. My dad bought both for me as a kid and I loved bashing those things. So much fun. Tamiya for me holds such fond memories from the 80s as a kid. I really wanted a hotshot but the avante was probably the second best car....the egress was basically the same but slight more expensive. They sold a ton of grasshoppers but that thing was cheap junk.

Cool video. Lots of inventory! That’s crazy

Great video, I started drooling looking at all the stuff, never seen anything like that here

Wow bRo, that store is massive!!! I've never seen that many O.S goods hanging on the same wall and the race track was so cool the icing on the cake!!

Drooling over those Tamiyas!

Many times, a product is tested for sale in Japan before it's sold to the rest of the world. This is your golden chance to get products you wouldn't be able to get any other way.

Very cool to see I’d luv to visit and I believe those long rods you seen may just be drone extension arms or motor support replacement. I’ve seen some similar to those as they do do get damaged. Easily. Not cheap. Great video sir

Oh, the Tamiya days! My first ever RC kit (back in the very early '80s) was an electric 1/10 Tamiya Ford F-150 2WD with a hard-body shell. Also had a 2WD Grasshopper, 1/12 4WD Porsche 959 (still have it, and restored it with a brand new sump guard and new body, were hard to find, paid USD100 for tyhe clear lexan body alone) , 2WD Avante (still have it, with a new body). Tamiya RCs were more for casual bashing around. Then moved to the Associated B-3 and TC-3, which were really competitive.

Wow that shop is amazing 👏

Japan stores are just epic! i went in january, and the video game and toy stores are awesome.. diecast model selection, and even audio headphones selection blows everything we got in the US. Also since theft isnt much of an issue, all those items are within reach that you can actually look at (vs behind a counter) .

Great video!

great video, cool to see. The bars were Align 3D helicopter parts, tail booms etc.

Wow WOW WHAT A OUTSTANDING STORE 😱 it's better than Gold 🏅 lol 😉 thanks for sharing 👍😁👍

This is how i wish rc stores was in Norway! all the stuff is in a room just the staff can go in to. so i need to know all i want there. i just wanna look around and pick things ass i see them!

Wow! A hobby store in Japan! I love my exclamation mark!

amazing shop !!!!!

ohhhhhhh thats awesome man loved the video , im going to japan lol :-)))

Yup. That takes me back to when my Tamiya (The Hornet) needed a few parts to be replaced after I ran it straight into a parked car’s tire... it was cool buying all the replacement parts and bringing it back to new-specs.... as a kid that was awesome, now as an adult I should have just brought a new kit. All the separate parts added up to the same price as a brand new Hornet!

Now that IS a hobby shop!!!! Would love to go to japan and do some rc shopping!!! This is what we need here in the U.S..

Would like to check it out as well, interesting
