Hello Jer,
The result of the mailing list discussion (a couple weeks ago) was that there's no place in Tokyo that has RPi in stock. You can order online at http://authenticate.rsdelivers.com/
or http://www.leocom.jp/
If you'd like to ask about other options, please talk to Taylan (the event instructor).

Hello,
Thank you for the reply.  I won't be able to get the RPi in time for the event so I was wondering if it was still worth attending?  I would usually just go to learn as much as I can but the posting seemed specific that everyone was expected to have an RPi with them.  Any advice on whether or not to still attend?

It is fine if you attend, I was planning to do the setup and make the workshop as much hands-on as possible. The thing is I'll bring mine and if there is no one else like you, you can use it during the class. Just try to bring an SD card for your OS.
