Toys "R" Us (Kushiro, Japan)

Just like the previous post about Toys Yoshida in Asahikawa, I photographed another toy store in Hokkaido. Asahikawa has a Toys "R" Us store too, but I didn't have time to get to that part of the city. Instead, I went to the Toys "R" Us store in Kushiro when I had a rental car. A few years ago I photographed a Toys "R" Us in Canada as well, and I believe it's the same company that owns the brand in both countries. Other than product differences, this felt very much like a Toys "R" Us you'd find in North America. One thing that stood out is that this Toys "R" Us only carries Nintendo consoles, no PlayStation, and not surprisingly, no Xbox. I didn't see any Xbox merchandise anywhere I went, which I expect is normal throughout most of Japan, especially in the areas that I visited. 

Some of these photos didn't come out too good. Apparently, my phone switched between HD and a much lower resolution when I was here, and the quality difference is obvious. I don't use my phone for photos a lot and never noticed that setting, so now it's set to only take the higher quality images.
