Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival 2014 - A Big Fabric/Quilt Adventure

I am so excited!  Later this month Anne (a fellow quilter and friend) and I are travelling to Japan to go to the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival (a bit of a tongue twister as the Great seems to be in the wrong place).

As well as attending the show we will be meeting with suppliers and generally doing all things fabric and crafting related.

We would love to get your input on places to go and things to see.  We are visiting Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.  We intend to visit one of the flea markets in Osaka.

What would you recommend?  Also is anyone else going to the festival?  Would you like to meet for a coffee?  We are always keen to meet up with fellow fabric fanatics.  We will be staying at the Tokyo Dome where the festival is being held. 

I can't wait - 16 more sleeps to go....
