Back from another trip to Japan

Well my dad just came back from another trip to Japan.

And while he was over there he bought a few items and brought them back. So I thought I’d share them with all of you.

Before he left we decided to see if we would be able to buy any pachinko supplies (like the pliers, nails, hammers, gauges, etc.) so I remember I had a link to a pachinko supplier in Japan. (here is their link http://www.ohirasyoukai.com/ if you want to read the site go to google type in translate and use their translator and type in the URL and it will translate the whole site) So we got the address and then he left for his trip. It turns out that when he was there he was walking around the block where the building was and in the block was the Sankyo, Nishijin, Heiwa (and others) head quarters. So basically that is what he called pachinko city.

Anyways we really wanted to buy this set http://www.ohirasyoukai.com/kougu/ku..._kougu008.html but he said it cost about $300.

Also any tools that you see on their site are in their store.

So he ended up buying two pairs of nail adjusting pliers and 4 bags of posi drive nails. He said he would have bought more pliers so we could sell some off but the issue was is that the store only takes cash.

So we didn't get what we really want but he says next trip over there he will buy some more supplies. (Next trip is probably about 6 months away. Hard to tell for sure) But seeing that I have 2 pairs of pliers and I really only need one I might sell off the other one.

Pictures of the pliers and nails are attached.
