Hello Hansey,

I don't know where you are located in Japan, but if you did a search
"ADA Shop Tokyo" for example, shop lists will be shown. Sorry it'll be mostly
in Japanese. Some shopping malls with Pet Shops/Aquarium shops might
have a selection of Aquascape tools, but it varies. You can also find a stand alone
shop as well.

I believe Yodobashi might not carry them, because they don't have a pet section.
In Osaka, some Aeon shopping malls have Aquarium shops and the Expocity shopping mall has a nice selction. If you wanted to find places around Osaka, I can send you some links to the stores that I have been to.

Hope this helps you a little.

I've never heard aquarium shops charge entrance fees at the door.
The majority of wholesale stores do not allow non-commercial buyers to enter inside, you might visit one of those wholesale store .... I'm not sure.
Aquarium exhibitions do charge at the door.

Hello Hansey,

Shince you'll be staying around Ueno, there are some shops near by to go by train according to the ADA website. For example, there is a shop that carries ADA supplies near Tokyo Station called Penguin Village: http://www.adana.co.jp/jp/shop/detail?id=10426 and a shop in the Sky Tree, called Aqua Forest The Sky Tree also has the Sumida Aquarium in it and Amano designed some of the displays. There are also a couple shops north of Ueno Station 30-40 minutes away by train: http://www.adana.co.jp/jp/shop/detail?id=10307 & http://www.adana.co.jp/jp/shop/detail?id=10061

You can see the stores that carries the supplies from the ADA website, you need to choose Tokyo in kanji (東京) to see where the shops are located. They all have their own homepages.

Hope you find what you are looking for.
Good luck!
