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.

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!
