Japan Jewelry Attractions

Hello from Taos!

I am planning a trip to Japan at the beginning of November and I
wondered if anyone would have suggestions on things not to miss
seeing in Japan. I will be visiting the Itami, Kobe, and Kyoto
areas. I would like to meet as many jewelers and metal working
craftsmen as I can in the 10 days I will be there. Any suggestions
on places to see both modern work and antique design would be
appreciated. I love gardens and architecture too! Thanks! I will be
happy to pass on to other traveling metalworkers when I
get back!
