Bic Camera in Namba has seven floors of electronics. If you are looking for computers, games, cameras, the latest audio-visual equipment, rice cookers or any other electrical appliance this is the place to come. However, it’s a good idea to remember that products here are made for the Japanese market. You should remember to check each product’s language functionality before buying it, and be sure each purchase comes with a manual in your language too! In this store there is a special section of popular goods for overseas customers on the 5th floor so you may want to save yourself some time and head straight there. Here are the highlights of the store.
