Is this scale still made in Japan?

do you have to manually set the scale as user 1, etc every time you step on it??

I looked at my scale which I have had for a while, and all it says is "Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan". It does not say that it is actually made in Japan. So I can't really answer your question. I do love this scale though. It has worked perfectly and I love the features and reliability.

I purchased mine several years ago. It was manufactured in Japan. This is the most accurate bathroom scale I have ever had. Used several times one right after the other, it only varies 1 to 2 tenths of a pound each time. Other scales I have used might vary 2-3 lbs. I highly recommend it.

Although this is an older question, I will add to the answer as to possibly help people still wondering. The Tanita HD351 scale is still made in Japan. I inquired with Tanita USA prior to purchasing and was told this particular model is made in Japan. This scale is accurate and has excellent build quality. Much nicer than prior scales I've owned.

I do not know where this scale was built but it is a very good scale. I recommend it highly, in particular for keeping track of more than one persons weight.

The one I bought was made in Japan. It says right next to the little screen. Good luck!

I think the box said "made in Japan" but I'm not sure. If I find the box, I'll post again.

I previously had one made in Japan (purchased on Amazon) and my latest purchase is made in China. The quality does feel more cheap (lighter weight, typos in the packaging, although to be fair, the Japanese translations have always been sketchy). I will be returning - I wish Amazon would be more forthcoming about the switch.

The one I got was made in China. I was expecting that it was made in Japan, the same as what we had before.

Mine is clearly marked "made in China" but it seems to be very reliable, is built very solidly and works pretty much as expected. Almost every consumer electronic product retailing at under $1000 of Japanese design is now made in China or Korea. This is clearly a Tascam designed product, and hopefully, Tascam also oversees the quality assurance of the production line. They are , of course, putting their corporate reputation on the line. It's interesting that many people today see Japanese made products as a "gold standard". I'm old enough to remember when most Japanese export products were literally made out of metal recycled from soda and beer cans and were likely to fail in the first few minutes of operation, if they worked at all. Just wait a couple of years and there will be people wishing for Chinese manufactured electronic products, since most production will then be shifted to Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyway, China or Japan, it really shouldn't matter if the device works well (as long as you don't worry about it being made of lead, melamine and used Toyota accelerator pedal assemblies). :-)

I'm sure mine was made in Japan, do not know if they are made elsewhere now. Very well built.

I bought this for my nephew a while back. As far as I can remember, I'm pretty sure it is from Japan. All the instructions were in Japanese.

Not that I know of. I was able to return this scale. It's the worst one 've ever owned. It wasn't accurate at all after a couple of months.

Yes, it's made in Japan. I still have the label on mine that says it is. And I love this product!
