Hello, Katie,
 
Some years ago I went to Japan and some Japanese friends took me to
Yokosuka harbor to shell. It's about an hour train ride from Tokyo and has
first class hotels. There are fishermen there who leave shells on shore as
well as shells living in the area - the people look for them, too, to eat.
I found Cymatium parthenopeum (Hairy Tritons) on the boat launch ramp, out
of the water at very low tide.
 
Have fun.
Peggy Williams
