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.

I did not detect any racist element, but I don't know any other way to take yours. I apologize if I'm reading an unintended meaning into your last post.

But unfortunately, after 1000 hours or so, don't these have to be sent back to the factory for re-tipping?

We have a respectable AC supply voltage of 240-Volts!
