Macintosh information for Nagoya, Japan

So- you own a Macintosh, or you want to buy one. You live in or around the Nagoya city area. Where do you go? Where can you get Macintosh computers, parts, software, etc? I've put this website together for 2 reasons:

For people who live in the Nagoya area and want to buy a Macintosh but don't know where to go.

There is little or no information on the web about where to buy & sell Macs in Nagoya.

Please keep in mind that this information is subject to change, sometimes rapidly. There are stores opening and closing constantly in Osu, and it can be open-this-month-closed-the-next sometimes. Stores also tend to move their displays around between floors, so information may not be 100% accurate.

News:

2.07 While MacMart no longer sells used Macintosh computers, SoftMap does (they have a small section however, and high prices.) For used Macs the only other choice is the Apple Store Sakae's "Fire sale" end the end of every month (used/refurbished models.)
