High end in Tokyo?

I'm in Tokyo for the next week. Are there any good stores to visit with esoteric/high end gear that is reflective of trends I've been reading about in Japan for decades? Not interested in seeing the typical fare available in the US.

I just posted this because all the electronics when I lived in Japan are in multiples of 10x the price in usa...guess its fun to look but its really expensive and a waste of time unless you got a hundred grand or so...go to roppongi and have fun

Enjoy Tokyo!

If you look up the local audio forums there they will give you a list. If you have the means to travel to Malaysia while over there let me know. There is a cool "Tunable Room" there.

Have fun!!

Just go to the Akhihabara area of Tokyo and enjoy. Probably the greatest collection of high end HiFi stores in the world. Of course, there are a lot of stores that are definitely not high end in this area.

What I like about Tokyo and the determination of Japanese audiophiles is nobody has any space to put up a big audio system so the only recourse is to turn the entire apartment or house into a giant super hi efficiency horn system.
