A series of fortunate events brings me to Tokyo and Kyoto next week. Can someone recommend photo galleries in Tokyo and/or Kyoto? I am not above fondling some collectible cameras either!

Thx,
Jon
 
I was just in Tokyo. I visited a few photo exhibits, but none were galleries selling prints.

here are a couple of notes:

lunch at megutama photobook cafe was kind of fun

I almost walked right pas this place, did not immediately recognize from the web site photos.
They have an English menu

photo gallery (I did not make it here)

totem pole photo gallery (did not make it here either)

Tokyo Metro Photo Museum -- Hiroshi Sugimoto exhibit and new photography exhibit
Most of the Sugimoto exhibit is not strongly photographic, but still very interesting
much info in English here

enjoy your trip!
