Thought I'd start a thread purely for Japan growers, with a focus on the best places for seeds, and the cheapest places to get growroom supplies like lights, nutes, etc, and general growroom supplies and ideas you may be able to get from a hardware shop.
Currently I'm in the Kansai region and am heading in to Osaka today, but I wouldn't know where to pick up seeds or any other equipment if I wanted to. This isn't a problem as I'm not currently growing, but as I intend to sometime in the future I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread now so when I do, I know exactly where to go.
In my growing days in Tokyo I picked up some Nirvana seeds from Space Cake in Ueno (http://www.afterhours25.com/) they are somewhat pricey but I was too security conscious to have them sent through the mail to my growing address. I picked up my light, a 250 HPS from an online store using a trustworthy female friend's credit card, but the link no longer works. Here's one I believe an old OG friend got his 400 watter from:

Everything else I bought from hardware shops, Y100 stores and the like, including nutes although I don't necessarilly recommend you doing so. From memory, all up including seeds, light, pots, stealth panels etc. it wouldn't have cost me more than Y60,000.
Lastly, I would just mention the obvious and advise if you are going to grow and choof be very careful as the herb is considered a hard-drug in Japan. Don't have seeds or a light sent to a growing address. Don't tell anyone you're growing, even those you smoke with, tell them it's from a dodgy Iranian or Israeli who has agreed to meet you privately every month at a set time and place, no phone numbers.
And never ever do stupid shit like smoking up a cab on the Tokyo dome ferris wheel with your mates.
