- 1st to 6th floors belong to the “Yodobashi Camera” range, selling computers, cameras, audio-visual equipment, home appliances, games, toys, bicycles and other products

We spent the whole night wandering around the 4th floor AV section and still couldn’t finish exploring. It was filled with cameras from various brands, each with their own counter. The latest camera bodies and lenses were available for testing, and there was no shortage of models. After all, testing the performance is the only way to know if you want to buy a camera. The testing equipment here impressed me. In addition, there were even large telescopes and cannons for bird watching that could be tested, dozens of tripods lined up in a row, and all kinds of camera-related products available. It’s a mall that can easily take up an entire afternoon.
