Heading to Osaka tmr, and this shop just went on my skip list.
A Korean YouTuber bought a fake card here. He went back with the receipt, photos, video, even a counterfeit certificate. Staff kept changing their story and in the end: no exchange, no refund. All of it is in his video.
This store has a serious problem☹️
