Knitting all over Japan

We are headed off to Japan in April to visit my grandparents, and started thinking about what I wanted to visit. Outside of the temples, museums, parks, and cherry blossom viewings, I’d like to go visit a few Japanese yarn shops — can anybody recommend a few? We’ll definitely be in Tokyo for much of the trip and then later Narita. Other stops might include Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Nikko…

That sounds like so much fun! You should definitely see if you could visit the Noro headquarters, but I think that it is in northern Japan.

I’ll be staying overnight in Narita in October. Does anyone know of any yarn shops near the Narita Airport or near the Nikko Narita Hotel?

I am moving to nagoya in late June 2009. Is there any yarn shops or knitting groups in the Nagoya area? I will be living in downtown Nagoya right next to the yellow subway line.
