I am currently in Japan but using the US app store. If I switch to the Japanese App Store will I be able to switch back to the US app store even though I am still in Japan? I have read that you have to be in the country whose app store you want to use but not sure if this is accurate. If this is accurate then how am I now able to use the US app store but living in Japan?
If I understand you correctly, I can indeed change to the Japanese app store and then back to the US app store right away while remaining in Japan the whole time and assuming I have a payment method arranged. Got it.

Hello judokajudoka,
Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are wondering if you can change countries in iTunes and App Store after switching. We can understand why you'd reach out for a solution.
You can switch back, so long as you have a payment method from that country. For more info on what happens when you switch, check out this resource.
Change your Apple ID country or region
Cheers!
