LFSs of the World: Anyone want to go to Japan?

[Matt L.]

We are very blessed to have some of the greatest LFSs here in Boston. But as we all know in this hobby, a common fish here is an uncommon fish in other parts of the world, and (more importantly for us), visa versa.

This came up on Reef Central, but there is an LFS in Japan called Sandogo (literally House of Coral. Cool name). Check what is in stock

I can't read any of the characters that come up on Firefox, but I assume the prices are in Yen. Yeah, that's a whole bunch of Miratus butterflies. And a female Genicanthus personatus.

Round trip tickest from Boston to Tokyo (I don't know where in Japan this LFS is, but I'll guess Tokyo) are $600. Anyone want to go and bring stuff back?

Can anyone translate this page?

Also, does anyone else have any cool links to International LFSs.

Of course, the downside to being in Japan is that you're going to pay $100 to $250 for an ORA clown,

I think there is a BRS member in Japan IIRC. I don't know about the legalities of shipping this stuff though

I spent a lot of time in Japan, but can't help translate, as the page comes up to me the little boxes that don't contain any written info.

PS: when I was in Japan the dollar was worth about 133 yen, now only about 96 yen...

Hey, I haven't had a chance to go to Bermuda yet! I'll be going in the middle of June.

Yes, I'll try and catch a pair.
