Tokyo is considered by many to be a music shopper’s paradise. Unfortunately, the lack of obvious street names and building addresses often make it difficult to find places and the ambiguous maps that stores provide don’t always help.
To help solve this problem, I’ve posted photos with the directions to make it a little easier to find stores. Check out the links on the left.
If you have a favorite store that’s not listed here, please send me some photos (a phone camera is fine) and directions from the closest station to the store and I’ll post them here.
The following links have directions to some shops.
