Is it possible to buy polaroid 600 film in Japan?

I can tell you for certain that there are no longer any of the original film left. It may be that there is small supplies of new film might be available in a few select shops in large camera shops. Understand though that the exchange rate is going to kill you along with the amount the shopkeeper will charge you above and beyond what would seem fair. It would be MUCH cheaper and convenient to purchase a supply locally and bring it to Japan. Don't worry about 800 speed film (that is the speed of Polaroid 600 film) and X-ray machines at the airport. If you are the worrying type you can request to have your film hand checked. Understand also that navigating though large cities in search of a single camera shop that "might" have the film you want and communicating with clerks about it in a language you are not comfortable with is not an ideal way to spend vacation time. Up to you! Why not consider using the Fujifilm Instax Wide Format camera and film? I know it (just) isn't the same but it is widely available.

The blog "Pola Park Express" gives you the information where you can purchase them though in Japanese. It says that the inventory in any shops are poor and not stable: http://polaroid-forever.blogspot.com/ The Impossible Project, known as the production of Polaroid films just opened a gallery in Tokyo: http://www.the-impossible-project.com/ http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/jp/stores/tokyo They are also selling films but the gallery is not permanent one.

There's still something special about shooting on film, some people still enjoy using film like myself. It's like telling some artists they shouldn't use paint brush anymore because they can simply use adobe photoshop and get things done. Will it be better or to your purpose is subject to opinion. Polaroid has been discontinued in Japan, I would suggest you purchase as much as you need back home (possibly via Ebay) and come to Japan with it.

Yes get a digital camera and save yourself the hassle of lugging phrase books and translators around. P

Polariod is, well, outdated. You may be able to find film, ask the instant film expert on where to find such. Oh, wait, the instant film expert didn't really answer your question. Man! Okay, then I am going to go with Carl_The_Truth and say that you should get into the digital age and forget that old stuff. Or find someone who can provide you with an actual answer to your question rather than just dancing around it. Final answer..... Give up the Polaroid and go digital.

Polaroid is already discontinued in Japan. So you can't.
