It's made in China for stores in Japan so when other countries buy the product it will be imported from Japan where the product is sold.

It says on the Amazon page under "product details" that the origin is CHINA.

Hi Christine, It's definitely not made in Japan. I believe it is Made in China but I don't know 100% because I took the little gold sticker off that said, "Made in XXX." I just know it wasn't made in Japan.

Check the origin if it says japan or provided by amazon or even imported from japan it's a real one, but if it says like china, Hong Kong, or etc. avoid it even if it's REALLY CHEAP.

I think it is made in Japan because its head office is in Japan but its parts and service support are in US, Canada, and Australia.

It is imported but doesn't say from where. We are assuming it is China. Thank you for inquiring!

I thought it was Japanese when I ordered it, but, unfortunately, stamped on the bottom of the scale are the words: "Made in China"

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

We buy thru a quality Japanese warehouse in Southern Japan. One could assume that these are manufactured in other parts of Asia as the cost of labor would be cheaper. Japan has caught up and passed the US for wages, thus like the US, products are produced where the labor is cheaper.

Sanyo is a Japanese brand, but the sticker on the bottom mentions "made in China".

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

If you look on the product description, you will see that it indicates China as the origin. I will add here that I frequently wash items such as sheets, towels, etc. before use regardless of where they were manufactured because they sometimes have a 'chemical' like smell when unpacked, but this item did not.

I didn't inspect the packaging, and didn't really concern myself with it's origin. My guess would be China...what ISN'T made in China these days?

The label on the bottom of mine says it is designed in Tokyo, but made in China.

That is a superb question, if it had not been stated in a grammatically puzzling manner. It is made from wood.It is made in Japan.

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

Yes, it is made in Japan. It's terrific. We've had ours for a couple years now and don't know how we ever got along without it.
