Geisha Girls are a much better investment

Cant tell you what to buy over there, but I can tell you what I would take. The right garage sale Levi's you can find here sell for $50 to $500 over there.

Anything that says Ito on it.

Nothing is cheap over there. Even the stuff made there is expensive. Better to look for black market stuff, but don't get caught.

I went to Narita about 5 years ago for my job(airline). I went to Green Street and had a blast. It is wall to wall restaurants, shops, and touristy stuff. Stopped by Richard Branson's bar for a beer. I went in July when they had a summer festival celebration and it was neat to watch. Apparently Japanese people like to eat smoked eels. I saw a restaurant where two men were skinning live eels and skewering them to put on a smoker. Never had the appetite for them. I bought two Japanese dolls for my daughters and a kimono silk robe for my wife. Their not cheap, but it is cheaper to buy there and bring home on the plane. The town of Narita is very clean and I was amazed at how nobody locks their bikes up at the train station. My guide said it was because crime is not a problem there. Go figure. I did eat at a popular noodle shop that caters to airline crews....cheap and good. I forgot the name but I'm sure you can ask any hotel personnel.
