Any ideas on where to buy a beacon,shovel & probe

in Osaka. I went to Himaraya and Sportaka where the staff had no idea what I was talking about and also had no clue as to where a serious mountain sports supplier was located.

There is a sports shop chain called Kojitsu in Japan. I am not sure if they have a store in teh Kansai region but they are 100% dedicated mountain explore shop.

 

They have Ortovox beacons, Back Country Shovels, snow shoes etc.

 

But you are better off getting from here.

Cheaper on the wallet and a much bigger selection of makers. They send most of their stuff anywhere in the world too.

I can show you places in Kyoto if you want. Or go take the train to kyoto station or Hankyu Karasuma. Hop on the subway to Oike go to Mitsuhashi sports but dont go in go to the place beside it they have everything and the price aint too bad.
