My job will take me to Tokyo a few times this year, so please tell me which direction to head in the city.

Hana are Japanese - though their parent company only lists overseas distributors: https://youtek.jp/hana.html
Our cat is named Hana - Japanese for flower. Though my OH's Japanese teacher asked why we'd called our cat 'nose' as it also means nose in Japanese : )

Shinkjuku and Akihabara are probably the first stops. Lots of info online. Here's a thread from last year: https://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/visiting-tokyo-any-audio-related-recommendations.283860/
I never see Hana in Tokyo/Osaka .. I highly suspect its an OME product made solely for the oversea market. I actually raised this question a few years back. You can go to Yod, website. Just use the search function in English..

The owner can communicate in written English. This is use for reference only because they don't have duty free. Last time I use their advertised price to ask Yod. for a price match. Also, all audio product prices in Japan are 10% tax included.English｜千葉県市原市のアナログ・オーディオ専門店サウンドハイツ

That Shelter Harmony at Yodobashi looks like very good value at under £1600 if they still do -10% tax free at the counter.

A quick bump as I figured this crowdfunder might be of interest to one or two members who visit Tokyo.
