Five G Music Technology

The undisputed mecca for secondhand synthesizers. Hidden behind the shelves of equipment is the repair workshop, and that’s what makes this place so good—everything on display is powered up and in great working order. Even if you’re a newbie, feel free to try them out. There’s also a wall of modular synths here, ready for your infinite noodling. Since this is the most revered synth shop in Tokyo, the top names in electronic music will often visit it while on tour. Try not to bug them while they’re making the pilgrimages though.
