Judging by what I've seen on auction sites and places like amazon.jp, Japan import stuff from America, and their line probably isn't as wide ranged as the ones in other places. It exists, but I haven't seen anything come up on those sites that we don't already know about and have in other places.

Though there are Japanese dubbed FIM episodes and random soundtrack CDs I keep seeing.

He could search for the rare and valuable Takara ponies in secondhand stores, that is where all the amazing stories of finding them come from!

I have a friend in Japan and she's been hard up to try and find items that we don't have in North America.   It's too bad the MLP cafe wasn't still open or you'd have been able to get some interesting things there.

There used to be an online store with some merch but that is long gone now.

Maybe if you are lucky there will be another pop up store somewhere: http://www.mylittlepony.jp

I mean if you dig, and find something you like, you might be able to find a few things at certain stores.
