Japanese TV doesn’t provide a lot of English speaking TV shows, at least not at a time when most people want to watch them so its nice to be able to rent a video when the mood strikes.
At the Sotetsu Exit of Yokohama Station there is a video store called Hollywood Video. To join you need photo ID, proof of address and also a small membership fee which is usually reimbursed in the form of a free video rental. The staff usually speak Japanese but if you are stuck they are quite young so someone is bound to be able to help you out.
Rental is usually about 400yen per day/3 days/week depending how new the video is.
Special rates apply on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month when the video are about 200 yen. You’ll have to get there early though to get a popular release.
