Santek

don’t go here, the worst customer service ever. I needed a massage and went to this place, there was nobody customer when i was there but was not greeted, i had to ask about the massage chair. The lady their wouldn’t let me sit on one of the massage chair i wanted, she told me it was sold out when i saw on in the small room. Anyway i am not going back to this place ever again. Went to Brookstone and got the same massage chair for $ 1000 less.

So was out and about and found this little place. It apparenlty sells a lot of things which seem to be «made for Japan» only. Found some cool games and other products, cooking stuff, cell phone stuff, and other household stuff. And of course even some car stuff as well. It’s small so you can miss it. Apparently it has moved, as it is in the plaza just north of Nijiya now. It is in the same plaza as Pancake house and the Armed forces Recruiting office.

Nice selection of imported Japanese cell phones (I think most are W-​CDMA + GSM, and with 3G features that don’t work in the US, unfortunately), and a small selection of other things, including:
— region-​free DVD players
— cellphone accessories and straps/​charms
— Japanese Wii and DS hardware and software
— Japanese language GPS units for cars
— PCs and laptops with Japanese Windows environment (surprisingly, they only had one[?] Japanese-​market laptop, others were Dell, etc)
— «Mach TV»: a desktop PC-​based Slingbox-​like setup, where you need to have the «Mach TV» PC running in Japan to tune into Japanese broadcast TV or cable, which is then streamed over an internet connection — enabling the user to view and change channels while abroad in the US or where ever.
A lot of the products have quite a markup on them in terms of price, but I suppose that it’s due to the products being imported. Not all of the stuff on their website seems to be available in store, so just call them to check before hand.
(In the same plaza as Nijiya Market, between Book Café J and Yakitori K-​1)
