This is more of a link list for my own use. My favorite store in Osaka is Camera Planet, although prices have gone up recently there. I'm sad that Lemonsha Camera closed its Umeda store.
Osaka - Umeda Station:
- Camera Planet - used camera sales
- OS Camera - used and new premium cameras
- K-Repair repair and sales of classic cameras
- Tsukamoto Camera
- Shinsaibashi: Dhoton Camera
- Sanwa Camera
Kyoto - Imadegawa
- Media Joy - new and used sales
- Sanjo Sakuraya
Hyogo
- Amagasaki: Yoshioka
- Tsukaguchi: Sun Camera
Suggestions and additions are more than welcome.
Update 2005.01.31 On the Japan Photographer photo list, two sites for used camera stores in Japan (in general) were recommended:
Hi, I’d like to buy
Nikon 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF DX VR Lens
And
Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash
I’ll be in Kyoto in October 10-17.
Be kind; inform me please, What stores have these things in stock and their cost. I’ll be very grateful for the answer.My E-mail is Odessky2000@yahoo.com
Please send me your address in Kyoto (sanjo sakuraya) in english .....
I am looking for a company to scan large format photos, is there a company in Kyoto that could do that? Any info regarding this would be most appreciated.
Thank you,

Dear Virginia -
The page for "Sanjo Sakuraya" redirects to a generic map page, so my guess is they went out of business.
Horiuchi Color looks like they're still in business. They're an outfit that does most of the slide / photography processing for pros in Japan. They have branch offices all over Tokyo and Osaka, so perhaps you can get to one.
Their website is: http://www.horiuchi-color.co.jp/
Looks like the website is just in Japanese. Here are the phone numbers of their labs:
