I requested repairs from the manufacturer for an appliance purchased during a trip to Japan, but my request was denied.

A warranty for home appliances is generally provided by manufacturers as an after-sales service to cover appliances that break down early, and the warranty period and coverage vary by manufacturer. Additionally, some manufacturers exclude appliances used outside Japan from their warranty coverage. Therefore, if you purchase a Japanese appliance during a visit to Japan and it breaks after you return home abroad, you may not be able to receive repair services. It is important to carefully check the warranty terms before making a purchase.
