<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Depends on what you are interested in. Most
shops offering the fixed wing stuff have moved out of the major metropolitan
centers (Tokyo and Osaka) and are nearer to where you can fly this sort of thing
in Japan (Saitama and Shizuoka prefectures). Osaka has a few shops
that concentrate on car stuff and some on helicopter parts and
accessories. Best bet for a current listing is to pick up one of the major
R/C magazines and look for a listing of shops in the back. Pick one up at
the airport and you can use the time on the bus for some creative
reading...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anything with an (06) area code is in Osaka
proper. Most shops have at least one person that speaks passable
English...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My experience anyway. If anyone from Japan is
monitoring this list and has more current information, please chime
in..</FONT></DIV>
