The only impression I am under is that you or anyone else won't be able to buy 40+ years old Butterfly Anatomic in any TT store in Japan.
On the other hand, there was at least one Anatomic offered in For Sale section @MyTT not a long time ago. |

I was actually in Japan a few years ago and visited a table tennis store. It was really cool and they had a huge selection.
But! All of the prices seemed to be the same as what you find in the online stores.

Can one take a tax refund at the airport when leaving the country?

Huge range of japanese porn and blow-up dolls.
Other than those, you can also purchase colantotte Magnetic sports band. (DO NOT BUY PHITEN) Local brands like victas and yasaka shd be nice |

I have been in Japan nearly one year now. Due to leave soon.
In my experience, actual shops are not the cheapest. Sometimes a shop will also have an online shop with different prices. It pays to look on Rakuten first to get an idea of how low you can go. Larger generic sport stores that you find in every major city wlll do the consumption tax refund on the spot if you have your passport. Department stores are especially good at this, having special desks or areas just for tax refund. Some shops refund you the entire amount, others will refund you most of it but keep some as a fee. Small ping pong shops are unlikely to have this convenience. When the yen was low, e.g. 125 yen to the dollar a few years ago, that was a great time to pull the trigger and buy stuff.

does anyone know which table tennis shop in Tokyo offer the best price? and is Japanese rubber there cheap or same as Singapore? I was at tt kokusai which was so called "recommended" but found the online price for rubber a bit on the higher end. so I am wondering will it be cheaper if I go to the store itself

I bet almost never cheaper at the store, though I haven't been to TT Kokusai for a while now. It's always cheaper online (elsewhere). |

Of course, online will always be cheaper. But can you pick exactly what you want online?

I guess you are talking about blades. Of course, the touchy feely aspect should not be underrated there. Being able to rap on the blade etc.. I hear some online vendors let you specify a weight for blades etc. Shoes too, being able to try them on means I always buy the first pair at a store or ping pong club, and then subsequent pairs much cheaper online.
