Why does it say "imported from Japan" by the main photo, but "imported (china)" in the product description? Where is item really from?

I'm not sure, I didn't retain the packaging. What I'm fairly sure of is the product was made in China for sale in Japan. Much like Anerican toys are made in China. Furthermore, this bey is a beast. I have never lost using it, and my sons beat me often while using it.

Mine says "Made in Japan." Wonderful tool! Takes the place of a toolshed's population of this and that. Wouldn't be without mine!

I did not check it. It looks like from Japan. Anyway the quality is good enough for me

No, China which disappointed me. I believe the more expensive model is made in Japan.

No idea. Bought it used without original box. Does made in Japan mean anything to you?

The origin place is China. You can actually see it in the product details on the main page, it says that it is Imported(China) The item was manufactured in China, and imported. Hope this answered your question! :)

This one is sourced from China. Unfortunately, they are either sourced from China or Japan and both have quality issues, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives!

There is no country of origin stamped, tagged or marked on it anywhere. I detest purchasing anything from China...as I recall I did my homework when I bought it. I've had this for well over a year now, but it still looks brand new. Great product. Sorry, I can't help you more. Even if it WAS made in the USA last year when I bought mine, they may NOT be doing so now. Do your due diligence.

I just checked the filters and they say JAPAN as opposed to CHINA. I think you are good to go in that arena. Regards. Tom

As with so many products, country of origin is China. Unless there are major issues with origin, it is still a good product.

Hello, according to the manufacturer, the country of origin for this product is Taiwan.

Made in China. It's funny, on another site these are listed as "Imported from Japan, Made in China".

We just received ours yesterday and the country of origin is not listed anywhere on the package. So I'm guessing China....

Both the ones I ordered last month came in the Japanese packaging...couldn't read a thing lol. Unfortunately they shipped it by slapping the label right onto that nice box. So you may want to try to request that it be placed in a shipping box by contacting shortly before or after you order it.

I bought mine last April. It's made in China. That said the build quality looks as good as Japanese and it's worked fine thus far.

Mine was built in Japan. I have more confidence in Japanese products than Chinese products.

It says "Japan" on the chuck - is that just a reference to Makita, not the actual origin of the product?
