[sdiy] Synth museums/shops in Kanto (greater Tokyo) region?

[Kylee Kennedy]

Five G and Echigoya Music are really cool for vintage synths. Also I
remember the Yamaha Flagship store in Ginza was a hoot, as it's like 4 to 5
floors of Yamaha gear, grand pianos, guitars, workstations. Not much
vintage stuff on display. But it's a treat to see the Japanese eye to
detail in setting up that stores displays. Also leave your wallet at home
for this visit. Haggling just doesn't happen in a store like this. There's
a few Japanese based repair guys on Analog Heaven list that may help, Ko
from Modeless Factory or I Go Bananas...Those guys may know the places for
deals. Probably online mostly.

Enjoy Japan, I need to get back there soon.
