Accuphase pricing Japan vs. USA


I am interested in Accuphase products but the pricing seems to be out of line.  Is there a reason that you buy the equipment for a "reasonable" price in Japan, but in the USA it is double or more?  I don't get it.

Vintage audio in the US goes for twice the price in Japan. They pay tons for the stuff that they made in the 60s and 70s. Example: sansui au 9500 here 700. In Japan 1500-2000. I’d love to start an export business in vintage Japanese audio. 
Too bad I chose to swing a hammer instead.
