Need help finding something in Osaka
I am headed to Osaka for business next week and I am looking for a good place to find a Hanshin Tigers hat (or any other J-Ball team) for my father, I was blown away that a hat ran nearly $100 USD in Tokyo earlier this year and is that the standard rate? I looked at a few stores in Tokyo (was looking at a Giants hat then, figuring hes a huge Dodgers fan it may have been a bit funny to see him open a box just to get a Giants hat) and they all were about the same price. Thanks in advance for any help.

Take Hanshin train line toward Kobe from Umeda to Koshien station. About 15 minutes or so. Koshien station is right in front of the Tigers' home stadium. Lot's of vendors in that area are selling Tigers goods.

There's also a Hanshin Tigers shop in Tokyo, in Gaienmae. It looks like hats are around Y2500.

It's been several months, but I recall seeing a Tigers' goods shop at KIX on the 3rd floor between domestic (2f) and international (4f) where the restaurants and other shops are. It was in the corner farthest away from the escalators.
