Johnny's shop:
Do's: use special forms to fill in numbers of the pictures you want. Don't forget to write a group name in the front top area.
Don't forget to check the small park - it's small triangle at the map posted in previous comment - if there's a line of people there. If there are, there should be a staff member with time tickets. If not - you can go straight to the shop.

Dont's: you're not allowed to take pictures of the shop. Including inside and outside. Well, technically you still can and it's really tempting, but please don't.

Same don't is for Family Club too, though they're less strict with this rule. There's no line and you can enter freely in case there's no preparation for an event. In this case you just won't be able to go through swarms of fangirls :)

lol funny i didnt know how to use the form :P i filled it out and then had to go bak and write all the groups beside it though they accepted it

As for the Fam Club *hint go DURING school times and such*
its a good idea :P i went during lunch ish it wasnt crowded
they also dont mind pictures


ummm also an add on to the picture at the johnnys store u CAN but its only outside at the sign thats the ONLY place u can.
you can also ask the employees if you can take a picture at the sign. they will let you

and thats about it, *unfortuantely i went as well in the summer i was blogging about it everyday but i never got to the johnnys store/harajuku in the end :P i gave up after 4 days.. i have a picture of the johnny's store in harajuku from the map at the JR station.
I'll see if i can upload it for you ^^

here ya go ^^ wow i replied 3 times already ):

[annisyha.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your information ^^
Can you tell me how to fill the forms??

[ayashi-mikage.livejournal.com]

I saw the people being asked not to take any pics of outside, so saying from my own experience.

[annisyha.livejournal.com]

Thank you,,
Btw, is there a forms using English language? Because my Japanese is not that good..

[ayashi-mikage.livejournal.com]

You don:t need japanese to fill the form :) It just lists the numbers of pix you want to buy.

[annisyha.livejournal.com]

Oh.. Ok,,
But, if I want to buy penlight or uchiwa, do I still have to fill the form?
About fill the form on johnny's shop is the most confusing thing for me right now >

[ayashi-mikage.livejournal.com]

Penlight - you just take it from side stand. As for uchiwa - you can either tell the tour/name of idol or just point.

[annisyha.livejournal.com]

Ok,, I understand now ^^ thank you for everything..

[annisyha.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the pic ^^

[aishitsuzukeru.livejournal.com]

youre welcome!

hope its helpful!

And a random new Johnnys shop rule: After you pay for your stuff and are waiting for them to get it, you must stand there holding the receipt visibly in your hand.

[ayashi-mikage.livejournal.com]

Whoah O_O Why?

[kamui-lee-chan.livejournal.com]

so after filling up the form, you go to the payment counter then after you get the receipt go to another counter which has the pictures?

does the photos differ in price? last time it was around 175Yen?

[seca.livejournal.com]

No, just stepping to the side of the counter as you wait is fine, but when they come back with the photos they will check the receipt again.

The photos are 150Yen each, and I noticed a couple places in the store they have a list of number of photos and how much it will cost to get them. Like 10 photos equal 1500Yen, and so on.

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

No, there's only one counter. You bring the form there, they ring it up, you pay, they give you the receipt. Then you stand there with the receipt while they actually go and GET all the pictures you bought.

All photos are 150yen.

[annisyha.livejournal.com]

Oh,, ok.. Thank you so much.. It really help me ^^

[aishitsuzukeru.livejournal.com]

you dont always have to stand in the waiting area....

[earth832.livejournal.com]

Your icon is awesome. Do you know where it is from?

[aishitsuzukeru.livejournal.com]

i took a screen cap from the report about the puzzle live in Tokyo :D

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what waiting area you're talking about. But you need to stay at the counter after you pay and wait until they bring your items.

[aishitsuzukeru.livejournal.com]

"waiting area" meaning to the left side of the register(if you're facing it). sometimes, when its busy, they make you wait there because they have runners... but other times, you just stand at the register and wait for them to bring you all of your things.

[snowqueenofhoth.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen (or heard of) them doing that since about a year and a half ago, and even then it was just for about a month. It's probably not something anyone has to worry about.

[seca.livejournal.com]

As you've been given a lot of instructions on how to get there already I'll just add some advice from my visits to the store. Go on a weekday, unless there's a concert in Tokyo on that day. But you should be able to avoid having to get a ticket that way, and the best hour I've found is the final hour the store is open from 6-7PM to go in, as that's when I've found it the least crowded.

Also for your trip in general it's getting cold in Tokyo so make sure you bring warm clothes, especially if you're unfortunate enough to experience a cold front during your time in Japan. One hit about a week ago and it was really cold for a few days.

[annisyha.livejournal.com]

Ooh.. So it's better to go there on final hour,, ok, I will take a note of that..
Thank you so much!! And thx for your advice ^^

[earth832.livejournal.com]

I've been reading all these great replies since I'm going in the summer and I thought that I try to figure this all out now. I saw that you have to get a form and find the number of the picture. I'm guessing that you have to use multiple forms if your getting items from multiple groups?

[starmuffin-news.livejournal.com]

ok, excuse me if a sound ignorant but...
what the hell is johnny's family??
i knew about johnny's shops and how much of a hustle it is to buy there,
but what exactly is johnny's family??
