Buying strings in Japan

Hi folks. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience buying strings in Japan. I would love to find an online retailer similar to juststrings.com, but in Japan. I have ordered though my local music store before (Sumiya), but they are quite expensive. Thanks!

Pacman, does it cost a lot for shipping? How about duty and tax?

You know what - I screwed the pooch on that. I have an APO address - it's a domestic address....

yeah, it's $40 bucks just for shipping. I tend to use strings forever, so that doesn't work for me.

Nope, I live in Shizuoka.
