HHKB IN JAPAN? EASY TO GET?

Hi all,

my father has gone over to Japan for 5 days. Would he be able to find HHKB's in any stores or are they rare out there and probably only online?

Regards, Fart_toast

A lot of the main Yodobashi Camera Stores have them. Unfortunately, I don't remember if they have both the English and Japanese layouts.

What part of Japan is he at?

I'm not sure, I can find out from him on Skype as soon as possible!

Anywhere else other than Yodobashi I can shortlist in an email to him?

If he would be able to buy some Caps I'd purchase 2 sets! :D

Would amazon be an option? Shipping takes about a day here.

Other options might be:
Bic Camera
Tsukumo
Sofmap

Thank you for the advice, seems like Yodobashi are a bit more expensive than Amazon.jp. I'll see if he can get a better price in any of the other stores on that list.

I'll see what I can do Cookie. What sets were you looking at...the standard lettered ones? If I'm getting a set myself then may aswell get 2..I can always Ebay it if nobody ends up taking it. Can't doo a full group buy thing. My Dad is only there to give a talk and already doing a great deal extra to go hunting for a HHKB for me when he gets a spare few hours.
