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.<div><br></div><div>Enjoy Japan, I need to get back there soon.</div><div>Kylee<br><br>On Saturday, December 19, 2015, Martin Klang <<a href="mailto:mars@pingdynasty.com">mars@pingdynasty.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

2 days in Tokyo/Yokohama and was wondering if anyone knows

Looks like Roland had a pretty extensive showroom, but I
