Yea but Ochanomizu has a dedicated lefty shop, it's the only music shop I've felt truly welcomed inHorseyBoy wrote:^^ What backwardsvoyager said. The JR pass is great if you're doing a lot of bullet trips but, like everyone else has said, you should really plan on spending more time in less locations. Think about what you really want to see and do.
The record shop skullservant mentioned above is Tower Records, which is still right in the middle of Shibuya. There are some decent guitar shops in that area, too (an Ishibashi and Musicland Key). Heartman Vintage is also there. It's small but really worth a look.
I must be the only Westerner who's ever set foot in Ochanomizu and found it pretty underwhelming. A strip of guitar shops pretty much selling the same things - even if it's a giant strip - doesn't do much for me. But if you're looking for new Japanese-made Fenders, you'll find one there.
My favourite Tokyo guitar store (by a huge margin) is TC Gakki. They're in the Shinjuku area: https://www.tcgakki.com/English.html
Hyper Guitars, which is for looking, not buying, is right next door: http://www.hyperguitars.com
And think about whether or not you need a data sim card while you're there. Bmobile do a good 14-day one that you can pick up from airports or hotels: http://www.bmobile.ne.jp/english/
