Obviously not Japanese but the Philips 'GA230' Ideler/Belt Decks was superb built, cast alloy & but was let down buy the short flimsy arm fitted.. You could not fit a cart & headshell other than the one made for that deck.. All that said they do sound good..

Coral 'CP-701'
Anything made by Coral is lovely quality.

The FLATS were out the same time, they were great too.
PL-7 was very similar but with a 12" platter.
