Yeah, freshwater is big, huh?  I don't have time right now, but if you can read Japanese I would check out the Carpenter site and look at who their vendors are in Kyoto.  It's a good bet that where you find Carpenter you'll find what you're looking for.
Also, check out the Hammerhead site:  http://www.hammer-head.jp/frame.page.e.htm
It doesn't look like they have anything in Kyoto, but there are a couple shops in nearby Osaka.
