Visiting Tokyo and wondering where to go for FD stuff

Will be in Tokyo for about 2 weeks visiting the soon to be inlaws and was wondering if anyone can tell me if there are certain shops or areas in town that I can go to for rx7 parts. (new/used/whatever)
Appreciate any input.
Thanks.

Youre best bet are the used parts stores like Parts Off, Yellow Hat and Autobacs. Actual junk yards are few and far in between in mainland Japan. Okinawa has a ton of junk yard though. A few speciality shops like R-Magic and Boit carry new parts for FD's. Enjoy...

Where in Japan are the "soon-to-be" in-laws? 2 Weeks is a short time to search if you are far from any of the good shops. If your in the Tokyo area I can give you specific location directions but if not, take Grassninja's advice and look for your local Parts Off, Up Garage, etc...

Thanks for the help guys. The inlaws live in Chiba but we are going to be staying in Tokyo with her sister for a majority of the trip except for a 2 day visit to Kyoto.
Any locations you can give me in Tokyo would be much appreciated.

Call the shops and ask them if possible which is the closest train station to their shop. Then take the train/subway there. Usually on the shop website there is an address, you can show that to the taxi guy.
