Tokyo Camera Attractions

[Chip Chipowski]

I'd love to get any recommendations for cool camera stores or museums in Tokyo.

I would recommend either Map Camera in Shinjuku and Fujiya Camera in Nakano.  For years, I've been using both shops for both brand new and used items.

Map Camera:

Fujiya Camera:

If my schedule allows, I would be willing to accompany you to these shops for another " brief but nice NG meet-up".

You might also try NG member Richard Haw that lived in Japan for many years and sought out second hand cameras for repair purposes :  https://nikongear.net/revival/index.php?action=profile;u=687
