Good question, nothing indicated on the iron & I don't have the box. The instruction sheet does not say where it's made, but has reference to Panasonic Corporation of North America. why do you ask?

It is made in Japan, for US and Canada market since the warranty card says for US and Canada.

Yes. It has a US marking on the box, but made in Japan on the machine. Works fine.

Almost entire label uses the Japanese Kanji script, with a very minimal use of Romanji (English alphabet) script. So I'm assuming it was manufactured in Japan.

It's a Japanese company, but mine says made in China. I have been using it every day for 12 years and it still works fine.

I bought mine last April. It's made in China. That said the build quality looks as good as Japanese and it's worked fine thus far.

Yes, the box states that it is made in Japan. I just purchased (4) spark plugs for my 98 Toyota Camry.

It is marked as being made in Thailand. I believe the original company is Japanese.

I'm sorry we lost it when we moved apartments. (must have fell off the truck) Anyway, for the price, I doubt it was made in Japan or the US. It's like a Daiso product. It's Japanese, but made in China (most likely)

Mr. Hong, this is not really an answer but I think I know why you are asking if this device is Japanese made. Because they used to make the best. My late wife was Japanese and we originally bought our rice cooker in a Japanese store in Cambridge, Ma. It lasted us over thirty years, it never failed to work perfectly and was lost in a house fire. The replacement started buring rice after one year, it was made in China. So, like you, I am searching for a new unit that is made in Japan. Best of Luck.

It is made in Japan. They tell you it's made in Israel to justify the outrageous price they charge at the mall. If you look at the boxes from the mall, there is a clean little round spot where they removed the sticker that says "Made in Japan". The sticker is present on the boxes from Amazon. The kiosk sellers are pretty sleazy.
