Hi all heading over to Japan tomorrow and was woundering if anyone knows where the tackle shops are in tokyo and also in Sapporro.

cheers

shibuya station on the Jr line. The 3 pro sansui stores are there and they're F*cking awesome... Theres a tackle berry store right near the 2 main sansui stores aswell... Tackleberrys the go for dirt cheap lures... There's a whole isle of 2nd hand traded in lures ... Megabass, smith, tiemco, all the good stuff for 5-15 bucks... Plenty of rare lures aswell that you'd never find over here. Cant wait to get back over there

Buy some Bass, Salt fishing magazines and check out the shops advertising they usually have maps bit complicated but to work out if they're in Tokyo or Sapporo you have to look at the first 3-4 numbers of their telephone number

Or have a Japanese freind still complicated to find shops for them sometimes. Sansui, Popeye etc etc could spend days weeks in those places.

Good luck and have a good trip and if in doubt just ask the Koban Police, their duty to give you directions

thanks guys lets see how lost i can get before i find the shops lol

Take a compass so you can get your bearings most maps shops show direction from the closest train station, Tokyo is a nightmare unless you know it, Sapporo would be better for finding shops smaller and set up as avenues and not ring roads!!!!

Found sansui easy enough couldn't find joshyas at all ended up buy some unikata line which I've been trying to get for ages and got a daiwa emblem which work out really cheap think about $380. So I might head back there and gt another one before I head back to oz

I only managed to find the one with the big marlin on the side next to Shibuya St with the 2/3 levels, is that sansui?

iphone compass and maps is very useful just to get bearings of places in the big cities over there.
