above is the full retail price at Official Apple Stores and what-ever ReSellers in both countries, while smaller stores offer a slight discount . gigantic stores in neighboring Japan like Yodobashi and BIG Camera where they accumulate a generous 5% in their own Membership Points on most products for use after the sale date : exclude sell Apple products from this and sell only at full retail price . however these larger stores as well as Official Apple Stores in Japan deduct 5% to visiting foreigners with passport . thus a considerable discount of over W100,000 ~ 200,000 can be had if you have travel plans to neighboring Japan, especially onto the five major cities throughout where they have Official Apple Stores though NOT as large as those in metropolis around the World .
