Heading for a week in Tokyo. Any good recommendations for instrument shops to visit?

Ishibashi Music is the only name I can think of.

Bass Collection in Shibuya is great. There are a ton of others in the immediate area. Just outside Shibuya Station, look for the giant Ken Smith 7 string on the banner....pretty hard to miss.

Inner Wood is another high end shop.

Those Japanese Aerodynes are so beautiful.

Updating. Was wandering around Shibuya yesterday evening and stumbled into a nice shop near the station. I have no clue what it's name is. They had a good selection of Sadowsky basses, Steinberger, Status and even Chapman sticks among the Fenders.

Played a Sadowsky through a TC750 (?) for about a half an hour. Yeah, it was goofing off in a music store but it helped with my withdrawal since I didn't bring a bass on this trip.

What was the Sadowsky priced at?

There was a range in the 250K range and up. I don't know Sadowsky models well enough to clarify it further. I can't imagine it's a good deal to buy a Sadowsky in Tokyo...

Dated info but some may still be useful.

Ishibashi seems to be a must.
Guitar Shelter( GUITAR SHELTER ’†ŒÃŠyŠí”Ì”„@RepublicGuitar³‹K”Ì”„‘㗝“X ), if possible, would be a must because I've bought from them and referred bassists to them who also bought and were pleased.
