I´m going on a tour with japanese company California based. The are visits scheduled to fabric town and Yoko Saito´s fabric store and Tomato. I´m taking notes of of other places in case I have the opportunity in those free time.
BTW: What I did not get yet is the value of money there . I know Japan is expensive and am trying to relate Yen to US$. For instance: I have no idea how much material I can buy - lets say - with $100
