I did see some old PCs of that sort at Hard-off further afield. I don't recall where. May have been in the burbs around Osaka.
In Tokyo the easily accessible source to have a peek at some computers like this is BEEP in Akihabara.
Edit: Yep looking through my photos I saw an FM Towns Marty at a Hard Off in Kanazawa. ¥49500.
Saw an actual FM Towns at a Hard off in Hachioji. More ¥77000 when you combine the monitor and computer.
That last big Eco Town in Hachioji was quite the old PC source. Also had a PC 98 and boxed (!) X68000.

When I was studying abroad in 2001, I saw an original FM Towns tower case basically in the junk pile. I wanted it even then for how distinctive it was, but had no clue what it was. What might have been!
