Tokyo is still a very expensive city for shopping. With the possible exception of electronics and photo equipment. These products are often extremely cheap. But avoid the hotel shopping arcades! The best guide to camera shopping in Japan is right here on the Internet! Check out the following web site: http://photojpn.org/ There you will get information on the best vendors and their addresses. Both for new and used equipments. And itīs all in English! Good luck in Tokyo, Steve! Claes
