Hi flyers!

I'm going to be travelling to Japan (Fuchinobe, at the Institute for
Space & Astronautical Studies) and was wondering if anyone knew that
area at all, and if I should bring my kite.  (It won't fit in the
small bags I'll be checking, so it would mean a carry-on.)  I'll
be there late-October -> late november.  Is there good wind in that
area?  Parks in general where I could launch?  I"ll probably just
be taking my Spinoff...are there things/kites in Japan that would
be worth shopping there for?  

Thanks for any info!
