Something to eat. If you're in Narita, don't bother leaving.

with only an hour you wouldn't be able to get anywhere to purchase parts.

which will be totally useless to him here. Just get something you think is really cool and not available in any shape or form here in the States.

Take the train and track down some parts. I met up with Graham from japanparts.com, and bought some stuff from him. I had a little more than 8 hours. Narita is quite a ways out and Tokyo is not the easiest place to get around (the train goes all over Japan, but Tokyo is masive).

Good luck, if you only have an hour, stay at Narita and buy some mini-RC cars....

8 hours in Japan, eh. Tokyo?

Get some real good sushi. or ramen, or.... pretty much any food in Japan is good.

or if you want something that lasts a bit longer, then get some electronics like digital cameras. Have fun!

ENJOY YOURSELF!!!!

I guess if you are getting ramen in japan you wont have to pay import fee's so it should cost you just under $0.01 per pack.
