I purchased my 10XW there for $270 after the currency conversion. I also saw some LVW's for around $180 AUD. I am going back in March and will buy a 17mm LVW and maybe an XW or two.
If you need directions to the shop, here is their web-site.

After much research, this shop is the cheapest I have found in Japan, and the best service.
Thanks for the tip - I'll be there in early Jan and was scouting around for a decent scope shop.

Looking at the website, I see they sell Canon DSLRs. Is it too much to hope that they have been modded?
