Anyway, I'm really looking to buy Japanese visual novels (Higurashi, Tsukihime, Fate, etc), but I'm wondering, can you buy these games in Dealer's Rooms at conventions like Otakon? Are there any stores in the Japanese areas of towns like New York City or San Francisco that sell doujin/visual novel works? I travel around the country, so I figure if so, I can maybe save on shipping instead of buying online.
Amazon.jp will ship books or music or movies, but they refuse to ship any type of game/software- all ages or not.

As for finding such things at Conventions, there's a good chance that the odd booth will have a copy of popular, commercially available games such as FSN or Kanon, but most likely they'll price it much higher than normal.
