I have bridge sized KEMs, I didn’t use them for a while and opened them recently and are almost completely destroyed/warped. I don’t know if it was moisture from my basement, but I’m optimistic these cards won’t have the same fate.

Login into Amazon Japan go through the checkout and I put my shipping address as Canada and it works.

looks like 20~dollars for shipment to the us on two set up , unsure if its worth it.

Yes it definitely wasn’t cheap but seemed like the beat option to get them.
They run about $24 USD per setup which isn't a bad price. Shipping is around $20 for the first setup but drops to around $1-2 for each additional setup. If you amortize shipping over 3-4 setups it's closer to $30 shipped per setup which isn't a bad price for the best cards on the planet.
You can also add some of their PVC cards to your order. They're only $4-6 USD/deck and also excellent cards.

The last time these were available on Amazon Japan IIRC they cost about the same in yen, but it was stronger compared to USD/EUR. I ended up passing then, but I'd consider the current opportunity a nice discount and I did order four setups. FWIW the last time Amazon also said X left in stock with more on the way, but that latter part took a looong time...

Can confirm ^ is about the correct price.
I'm showing "usually ships in 6-11 days":Aaand they're gone. For now? Congrats to all who ordered some.

The only low-cost way is happening to have a friend who happens to be on a holiday to Kyoto and ask them to bring you a few decks, or better yet a case since they're so cheap without shipping, from the factory

I think I'm the only one that didn't like these cards. It was because of 2 main things. 1) I couldn't shuffle them well. Cards clumped together. 2) Those elongated suit PIPs, ugh. I measured them. Card is 89mm long, and bottom of the suit PIP is 37 mm down from the top. I know most people don't care about this, but it drives me crazy.
Now, I do agree that they have that great feel like Kems, so I get that. I also love Kems but have sworn them off because of the bowing.

Just a note on one of the secondary options - it seems that Angel does not talk to non-licensees via its online inquiry form so there'll be no help there if the product isn't available from Amazon Japan. Can always try, but getting a response from them has been impossible even on simple questions.
Maybe someone else has the secret.
The only guaranteed way is buying directly from the factory in-person, although I think I've seen at least the 100% PVC cards might be stocked in Japanese retail stores.

Will be in Nagoya in a couple of weeks. Will give it a shot.
Where? Yodobashi Umeda should have them. My head has an entire railroad map in Japan so I can pretty much answer questions about Osaka or tell you better than google maps.
I’ve been there and trust me they should have them in the hobby and board game department.
