I doubt anyone is in the area of Nagoya city, but there is a fair going on now:
http://www.maruei.ne.jp/yotei/4/24/camera.htm
This camera fair runs about 3 to 4 times a year. It's in the Maruei Department Store, Sakae, 8th floor
Lots and lots of classic gear: Nikon, Canon, Leica, etc, etc. I saw tons of SLRs and RFs, lots of MF gear, plently of TLRs and even LF bits.
I spent far too much ¥¥¥ there however: Picked up a Nikon S2, Olympus Trip 35, Canonet III-19, Nikon 28/2.8 and a Kodak Brownie Flash III. Have to lay-low for a while now

I wish we had such a fair in Seoul, but don't. I have no idea why not. What were the prices like?

Mostly the usual, though slightly cheaper for the fair. Sometimes you can get some deals. I like the junk tables; I've gotten some Trip 35s and that III-19 from them.
Leicas are always expensive: a typical M3 goes for ¥125,000+ but they are always in great condition. Makes me wonder if people over here even use them
Nikon RF gear is very expensive. Saw some for ¥250,000+ today. Mint condition, probably kept in glass cases all the time.
