An audiophile in Tokyo, where the audio/LP stores

What are some good audiophile stores to check out or find some great japanese pressed LPs. Hard to figure this out over the internet so far.

I have a day to kill in tokyo. Would love to mainly checkout some shindo, koetsu or esoteric gear or maybe brands that are hard to find in the states.

Don't miss Accuphase, you'll save tone if bought from there. Our beloved distributers and dealers have HUGE markup on those.
As to japanese pressed LPs, I'm not impressed by most of them for some reason. I get fatigue listening to those due to excessive mid-trebble 2...3kHz boost.
UK and Italian pressings are much better. On the other hand they're popular and you can always sell them even with profit.

On Accuphase it's over 40% vs. Japan. Not sure about Shindo.
