ironchef if shops want our money they should provide a menu we "The Customer" can read. It's called "Customer Service" Knowing Japanese is not a prerequisite of being in Japan. And for some of us who really have no need to deal with the crazy culture who surrounds itself with not telling anyone anything of real value, why should we? As for this shop, a traditional burger far from that. An X Mac staff member, pointless. Their service sucks.

Very Japanese.... STRANGE. They can't even pronounce the names.... Darth Vader (can't do it) storm troopers (can't do it) and the biggest embarrassment... adidas (can't do it.)

At Christmas there was a line 30 minutes long to take a photo under some Christmas lights in Odaiba. I can only imaging couples stading hours in line when I see things like this. Photoshop is wonderful.

can't even get a light changed... if you don't have any respect, you don't have any power, and are simply a puppet. Once a human tape recorder, always a human tape recorder. The only political change that comes in Japan is at the site of an atomic bomb.

So the Japanese strung out in Shibuya are simply ignored. Every time I go there I can see Japanese junkies. Just behind 109. Never seen it in Roppongi... And as for marijuana, I have never seen someone appear as a junkie when they smoke it. It's natural. It's safe. It's only illegal because of big tobacco.

Why is their url, org? not or.jp? Japanese are too selfish to share. They pay the price printed on the box. Throw away food with an expiration date even on hard frozen items that can last for years. I can't believe 600,000 people use them here in Japan. Don't believe that marketing spew at all.

I'm still amazed people need help with these machines. It literally is a push 3 buttons. At Narita people just take forever. I think the last time it took me all of 20 seconds.

50 yen for 1 little sardine or 50 yen for 5 or 6 edamame's is crazy! Repackaged smaller and prices raised. Just like KFC did with their WRAPS. 1/2 the size and 30 yen cheaper. For a while people thing they are cheap, but in fact it is a marketing way to raise prices. 100 yen Lawson is the same. If you shop at discounted grocery store you can get things for 20 or 30 yen cheaper. But seeing most stores close at 9pm workers who finish up after 11pm can't go.

Just proves how smart people are. When I tell them I'm 29, and actually 39, and they say "Really..." Always thought they were joking with me. Now I understand, they are clueless.

Needs at least a bit more information. The cost is 1500 yen for adults (high school age and above) 1000 yen for children (Junior high school age and below) I don't know if you can rent skates. I'm 70% sure you can, but this is Japan and nothing can be simple. If someone knows the cost of rental, put it here. It will run till Feb. 28th weather permitting. Seems like it is open till 10pm everyday. The link (Japanese) is located at www.imgjapan.com/rink/ From what I can tell there is no English. And seeing there are very few words on the page, one could infer they really would prefer a Japanese clientele.

People are so stupid here. Hit an old woman and then drive her home with you. Crazy. Jail is too good for her. The parents should be locked up too for raising such a stupid girl.

Bullying in Japan is part of the culture. Feel free to bully as many people as you wish. It's called Sempai Kohai.... Need a personal slave, just get yourself a kohai.
