There are bargains to be be had in Japan but it takes some work - scouring Yahoo auctions and visiting velodromes.
If I sent SWIM on a frame buying mission to Japan, I wouldn't expect them to have to take so much time out of their holiday - you will almost certainly have to pay import dues if it gets sent back so it's probably worth trying to find one that's already here.
NJS Supermarket is a little bit cheaper if you visit the shop in person though so they might be able to pick you up a few nice components.
