Short answer: No. English Pokemon cards usually cost more in Japan because of import fees and lower availability. Better to buy them locally or online if you’re looking for deals.

Nope, English Pokemon cards in Japan tend to be pricier than their Japanese counterparts. It's all about the import costs and the fact that they're seen as more of a novelty item over there. So, if you're hunting for bargains on English cards, Japan might not be your best bet.

Actually, English Pokemon cards can sometimes be more expensive in Japan than back home. They're considered premium due to their rarity and the import fees. However, for collectors, it could be worth it for those hard-to-find gems.
