Cosplay Hot spots?

I partake in the art of cosplaying, but we haven't had any luck with seeing too many cosplayers around Akihabara. Anyone know of any hotspots where you can gather and have people come over to take pictures?

    If you are looking for cosplayers I think you should check out the area next to Harajuku station, in front of Meiji Shrine on the weekend. They usually gather around there. Also, you can look up some cosplay event to go, here is a Japanese website that you can search for events. http://www.cosp.jp/event_list.aspx

    I think you can sometimes see cosplay on the approach to Tokyo Dome (Suidobashi).

    Takeshita Dori on a Sunday is usually the best place :)

    Hi Dash, I know it's a bit of a trek, but if you're ever in Nagoya, Tsurumai park on the weekends is always host to groups cosplaying. Nagoya also hosts the World Cosplay Summit in the summer - the parade was a blast to watch!

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.
