Try rakuten.co.jp to find the best price. And Dremel IS sold in Japan, but seems to be considered as junk compared to the German Proxxon (who is known to have sold Towa-Brand Mill and Lathe under his own name in Europe).

Here for some Dremel online seller:

At worse you can order at Tokyu Hands, delay is short (3-4 days).

Forgot to answer this one. In line... Nagoya, Toyota, Okasaki, Toyohashi (50 minutes by train, more than 2 hours by car if you survive the journey). then much farther Tokyo...

I had a Dremel shipped over from the states, but if I were doing it again I'd go with Proxxon. Don't know about quality issues, I've never had bad experiences with Dremel but I understand that Proxxon is the standard in Europe. The reason I'd advise you to go with Proxxon is because it is the standard here. All of the shafts you'll find in Japan are just a hair too small for the standard Dremel chuck, which means you'll need to make sure you order one of their medium size chucks also. Make that two, since you just dropped the only one you have down the drain while changing to a Dremel-made grinder bit. At the hardware store in the states, it replaces for about 50 cents, here there is international shipping and a two week delay (even if you've got friends or family out in Dremel-land) to your project. Dremels do list cheaper than Proxxon sells for, but if you (or your wife) can do a bit of Yahoo Auction shopping, you should be able to get things a bit more reasonably than at Tokyu Hands, and once you figure in the international shipping for the Dremel...

just my 2 yen
