RE: Typhoon Shanshan hits Kyushu Island

When I was a 4th grader living in Japan I received $2.00/week allowance for doing chores around the house. I still remember the exchange rate being right around 360Y to the USD. I was a rich American kid buying up electronic toys and fireworks every week (which were legal year-round). Iwakuni was pretty rural with rice paddies, dirt roads in residential areas, and a train track behind our house.

I often see Japanese market Accuphase with 100-VAC requirement for sale at steep discount to the U.S. but the catch is you need to use an outboard step-down transformer to accommodate our 120-VAC service. I bet there's no warranty though.
