Hi Evo,
Long time no see ~ 
I was just thinking about your thread as I'm leaving to Japan for 10 days with my family for my summer holidays.
My current plan is to travel from Osaka > Kyoto > Tokyo.
Was wondering if there's any place you know that I can sample my fingers on some Topre switches heh.
Still favouring MX. Hopefully I could spend my free time wondering around Tokyo. 
Cheers!
Glad i saw this! (next time quote something from me so i get a notification on tapa =) )
Anyways! i happen to go to Osaka last week so i do happen to know some places, one place actually happens to have almost all versions of the Realforce on display (no HHKB's though)
So the best place to go in general for keyboards would be 1's (one's) located in Nipponbashi (which also has an awesome headphone store...actually 2 in you're interested)
here's some pics on 1's and the website with address.

The 2nd place that i know of is Bic Camera in Namba (which is a really interesting place where you'll probably be going anyways)

I imagine the large Yodobashi Camera in Umeda has a decent display as well but i didn't have a chance to get over that way since my primary reason for going to Osaka was for my daughter and i to spend time with my bro who lives in Malaysia.
FYI, i didn't get to see e-earphone like i wanted but the bic camera was definitely satisfactory for me.
P.S. to everyone else: i'm actually back home and happily on my computer but i've been lurking pretty hard because to be completely honest i have a computer addiction problem that's been affecting my life and family so i've been trying to cut down the time spent on the computer, if you ever need me for questions or proxy requests, just PM me or quote me so i get a notification on Tapa.
