Apple opens second store in Tokyo

Over the weekend, Apple opened its second store in Tokyo and its fourth in Japan. Located in the city's trendy Shibuya district, there was a line of 2,000 people--some of whom had been waiting more than a day, according to Macworld UK: "The store is Apple's second in the city and makes Tokyo the first place outside of the US in which Apple has more than one retail location. Apple's first store in Tokyo, which was also its first in Japan, opened in the Ginza district in November 2003....The store opened at 10am, but the first few people in the queue had been waiting since around 5am on Friday morning - 29 hours before the store opened." The report says that Apple has plans for at least two more stores, in Sendai, north of Tokyo, and Fukuoka, in western Japan.
