Going to Japan and buy from Japan

Wife is planning a family trip with kids to Japan in 2027. How and where to buy a new or used Accuphase gear and bring / ship back to US?

i probably need a way to communicate to arrange with a store there in Japan prior?

if you know a place in Japan that can convert voltage to US, please also share.

Portable and no voltage conversation needed. Accuphase- seems Audio Cubes offers best prices in both North American and European voltages.

I don't wonder if he wanted my help. 🤣 And no one is forcing him to accept our opinions. But I would point out that so far, no one has chimed with "hey great idea. I did it and had a wonderful experience". Cheers.

I think it's a fine idea - until you discover all the risks.
