If you can get to Kyoto, a visit to Gateway music will really be worth your while. It's a drum shop largely dedicated to latin percussion. Lots of both new and used equipment in stock and the manager, Murata-san, is an aficionado of Salsa. He gives lessons on latin percussion and has made several study trips to Cuba. Also, he knows of all the major Japanese (and foreign) players in the area and can direct you to teachers.
