I live in Tokyo now and have been looking for the Zenkoku Dentoteki Kogeihin Senta (Japan Traditional Crafts Center). I followed all the directions in the Fodor's guide and some sort of music business is there now (Plaza 246 bldg. 2F 3-1-1 Minami Aoyama, Minato-ku) <BR>Can someone help find the center's new address, or provide another suggestion within Tokyo (preferably easy to find on the subway...) Thanks!

Hello Viv,<BR><BR>According to their website, the center is now located in the Metropolitan Plaza in Ikebukuro. Here's a link to the page with a map: <BR><BR>www.kougei.or.jp/english/center.html

Bonjour Viv,<BR><BR>I couldn't locate their new address either. There used to be a building on the Yaesu side of Tokyo station where you could buy craft and local specialties from all over Japan. but it's been years since I've last been there.<BR><BR>The Oriental Bazar on Omotesando has a good selection too.<BR><BR>I thind your (and my) best bet is to ask the TIC in Yurakucho (look for their phone number and new location at www.jnto.go.jp)

Thanks Michael, you're a saviour

Thanks, Michael! I knew that it had to be SOME WHERE! <BR>And thanks to you, too, Florence - I knew you'd respond or have a good alternate suggestion. <BR>Thank you both, again!
