Last day in Tokyo, flying out tonight for Vietnam. Headed to Akihabara, aka”Electric City”, with miles if endless shopping possibilities. Stores are 8+ stories tall and range from high-end electronics to flea market type deals. Our favorite was a mega store, Don Quijote, which literally has everything from trinkets to oddities, practical goods, food, clothes, and everything in between. You could spend a few hours there and not see it all. There’s also several pachinko parlors, casinos, and tons of massive arcades with claw machines. The claw games have prizes from ice cream, snacks, toys, and household items.
We also hit up the infamous Creepy Vending Machines in a hidden corner of the neighborhood. Below I will unpack our mystery box that we bought from one, get your tin foil hats ready!

Cat Butt plush toys anyone?
I played once, and won a plush shrimp toy. Weird but cute somehow
Creepy vending machines are so infamous they are on Google maps

Note attached to the underside of the mystery box
Google translate of the note on the underside of the mystery box. Could the last line refers to mike lindell and his my pillow conspiracies? 😂
Interior of the wrapping, is this another nutty clue?? Let’s see what google translate says…
Interior of the wrapping translated, seems to be a property information sheet. at least conspiracy man recycles!
Just like Oak Island, there’s no treasure here. Just a questionable box of animal crackers. And no, hell no we didn’t eat them. They went to the rubbish.
Back to Shibuya Crossing to go to a cigar bar Shawn had his eye on
Suntory Whisky and a cigar before heading to the airport for our flight to Vietnam
Isn’t Shabuya Crossing where 3000 people crossing at same time
