bass shopping in Tokyo

Yeah, hopefully they just moved but I couldn't find them anywhere nearby. I don't know if they were ever on Google maps before but they aren't on Google maps now.

Not sure where the high end basses went. They weren't in guitar planet's bass section.
The same basses are still on the website, so it must have relocated somewhere. When I went to Guitar Planet, one of the employees had given me directions to Bass Planet. It’s on a perpendicular street from Guitar Planet.
Yeah, I can't seem to find them online either.
So would Shibuyu be a good place to check out, or no good quality shops there?
I was hoping to catch the ESP factory tour there today. My son is an ESP guitar fan.
You just have to look at the website for Guitar Planet. They don’t have a separate website for Bass Planet. You definitely still should check out the area.

I went to the ESP custom shop. Some awesome pieces of work! Elsewhere, pressing an incorrect elevator button, I also mistakenly ended up at one of the luthier schools. I saw some cool student designs too.

We visited the ESP Craft shop in Shibuya (some good stuff there and museum was cool), and played about 6 Sandbergs but sorry I missed the Bass Collection in Shibuya station.

Next time I plan to hit Ochanomizu guitar street, we just didn't have enough time with all of the other activities to see there. :)

Thanks for all the info, it was very helpful.
