Osawa and Arrow look like lots of fun! 
Thanks for the virtual (and too brief) vacation and shopping trip!!!

[JJChan]

Agree!
Thank you Richard for all of these shops and the good advice. I may be visiting Tokyo at the end of the year and now have targets for camera browsing.
Alas I suspect that I will be spending more time at the Tower Records (we don't have CD shops anymore here) and Ishibashi Music branches

Maybe we can get together for yet another NG off-meeting?

I can also show you around the musical instrument shops in Tokyo.

I don't think I'll ever go to Tokyo (ones never know though), but your shop visits is a delight and reminds me of some old shops that used to be Boulevard Beaumarchais in Paris (Nowadays it's much more fancy and uppity). Thanks for sharing 

[Erik Lund]

Thank you for posting these reports! Very tempting environment you live in 


Must be hard to cope with 


For instance:
This is a Nikon SP (reissue) that has never been opened it comes with the reissued classic W-Nikkor 3.5cm f/1.8 and from what I can gather, this is considered to be a nice price! If I can just afford this thing, I would have bought it in an instant!


I didn't even knew they reissued the 35mm 1.8

Ric - many thanks again.  Such a useful resource for all of us.

[Airy]

Sorry, could not resist, even though it's not the most interesting Nikon shop:

In German, that's called an Ohrwurm (earworm)...
