The best place in Japan for Akoya is Kobe. Are you going to be visiting Kobe? If so let me know and I will send you an email with a few wholesalers.
One thing to remember -if you buy from a jewelry store in Japan you will not save anything. Prices are not lower there just because they produce the pearls. But you can do very well from wholesalers. They just do not advertise to the public so you must reach them via recommendation.
