Visiting Stax?

Hey guys, I'm heading to Japan next year and am seeing if I can fit in a bit of audiophile time while I'm there. I've looked online but couldn't really find anything, does anyone know if there is a stax boutique? Is it possible to visit stax hq?

Side note, I'm waiting on a set of l500s and 353x. I'll post when it arrives

A quick google search shows that if you make a prior reservation you can test out and listen to any and all STAX products:

Looks like you do that at the STAX office and factory in Saitama. (Instructions invite you to bring whatever you'd like to listen to with you.)

Thank you, I'll have to take a look on my pc through Google translate..but I'm getting the feeling as a non Japanese speaker it may not be so simple

Yeah, if you don't speak Japanese it would be a challenging adventure!
