If you want it, Japan probably has it.


While living in another culture is quite a new experience, It is equally interesting simply living within 14 miles of one of the largest cities in the world. In fact, the suburb of Osaka that I live in has a larger population than Minneapolis despite taking up half as much space. Though I have mentioned this before, one aspect of living in a huge city that didn't immediately occur to me is the level of specialization that is made economically feasible by the scale of the city.
This is by far the largest selection of Ukuleles I have ever seen. These aren't cheap Ukuleles either. Almost all of them were over $400 and some of the fancier ones were around $4000. You wouldn't go to this shop unless you were serious about Ukulele playing. With 22 million people a reasonable train ride away, there must be at least a few in need of such fine instruments.
