I'm going to travel to Japan soon and I wanted to know if there is a store that sells US game consoles and/or games.

Why would you come to Japan to buy US games... Maybe you can find something from the 2nd hand stores

To make myself clear, I live in Korea and I happen to visit Japan in May and I want to buy US games and consoles without the outrageous shipping and handling fees from US or Canada.

The ps4 and xbox one are region free (any game will work) The wii u is region locked so just buy it on ebay.

Not retail, but you can occasionally find US version games at the used game shops. Alternatively it may be easier to buy from playasia or have things shipped from friends/relatives back home. That's what I usually do as it can be quite a bit cheaper when the games go on sale.

btw, the 3ds is region locked so unless you can read Japanese there is no point buying a Japanese console.

I can't think of any since Game Hollywood closed.
I sometimes find used NA versions of games at Sofmap.

Traders 1 or 2 in Akihabara (sorry I can't remember which) has a small import section on the 2F along with the retro games. Almost all new and pretty pricey.
