Repairing 450D/Rebel XSi in Japan?

Hi, shutter of my 450D/Rebel XSi/Kiss X2 broke down recently just after 20 000 shots.

Repair shop here in Europe want more than $250 to replace it which I consider unreasonable (just the shutter has broken, no damage to the sensor or anything else - they checked).

I'll be in Japan (Tokyo) soon for 10 days, would it be a reasonable idea to bring the camera over there an try to arrange a repair? Cheaper / more expensive? Suggestions on service centers to bring it to?

Canon EOS 450D (EOS Rebel XSi / EOS Kiss X2) Leica X2
