My first successful Gull fin purchase was also through another Scubaboard member after months contacting commercial suppliers in Japan who wouldn't respond to western buyers.

In my experience, two reliable commercial retail sources of Gull fins for western purchasers are Marinetone of Hong Kong and CanAm Underwater Hockey Gear:
Fins | - Marinetone Scuba Diving Gears
Fins & Fin Keepers
Both shipped quicker than many online diving equipment retailers here in the UK. Marinetone has much the larger range of Gull fins, stocking Gull Barracudas in medium and large in all three colours (black, orange, white) at 2980 Hong Kong Dollars, which converts in your case to approximately 420 Australian Dollars.

I imagine language was the problem. Not many people in Japan speak English. I've encountered this many times. Like I said I'm happy to help anyone who wants Japan only gear. Using EMS freight charges are quite reasonable. If you search around you can always find much cheaper prices than are advertised by dealers.

If you'll be in Japan Amazon.co.jp has an English-language option and you can ship to your hotel. Gull has the English version of their catalogue up on their website if you need more info. To give an idea on sizing, I use the same 5mm boot with the Gull Supermew XX (size M/JP 25-26/US 7-8/EU 39-41) and the Scubapro Seawing Nova (small).
