Also, allow enough time for browsing the back streets. While I have never been to Japan, I am told that Japan town in this area is about as close to being in Japan without sitting in the big bird. I spent more time shopping than looking at the trees there two years ago. This is a great place to find great Japanese books on bonsai in Japanese. There are about 10 book stores all of which sell only Japanese wares. The eating places are to die for. If tempura is your thing, then you will be in heaven. I seen everything possible dipped in batter and fryed on a stick. The sushi actually flows in the streets, and the bakery's smell awesome. Hmmm...makes me hungry just thinking about it.

I didn't notice a whole lot of stock or anything else of value for sale. They do sell many kinds of yard type plants there though. Lots of orchids and flowering type plants. Some shrubs and grasses.

They have a sort of theater there which does all sorts of Japanese dancing and kabuki. They had some Taiko Drummers there also.

Take some pictures if you can, and have a blast, Bonsai-al
