I have asked in so many places around Tokyo, but no one seems to know anything. I tried to order it online from Samsung US, but they told me to look for it in the Samsung Japan website. I see only the ads for the phone, and the links to the phone carriers, but they only have S9 phones. Sadly, I think I might have get the XS because I need a phone right now. That ugly notch gives me chills though. Hope you guys have better luck.
Is Japan just on the standard international model? Exynos chip etc
Perhaps you could buy from the UK or elsewhere and have them ship it to you.
There are a couple of very well known UK companies that will ship.
Clove is one company that ships, if you want to see if they ship to Japan:

Also, you could buy from Hong Kong and ship to Japan.
