All of the camera stores I’ve gone to tell me that they won’t push or pull film, they’ll only develop at box speed. Where can I take black and white film to and get it pushed or pulled? I’m okay if I have to mail it to them, but I want the service to be Japan-based of course.

There are a lot of online dev labs on yahoo auction. Cheaper to buy Chems and do it yourself if it’s a reg thing.
I used to use Fuji spd, rodinal, d76 etc. Silversalt or Yodobashi is where I’d get chemicals. Or online I’d get a c41 kit from thefilmphotographyproject
Bic Camera in Shinjuku (close to 東口) used to offer the option to get films developed at a professional lab (プロラボ現像), but maybe they have phased out that kind of service. Was definitely able to specify push/pull development at an added charge, it’s been a few years though.
Otherwise, maybe contact Horiuchi Color: https://www.horiuchi-color.co.jp/service/print/photo_print/
I stopped using labs for black and white a loooong time ago before moving to Japan. I had the feel that everything was dumped in the same 30C developer so times average out between stocks. Maybe I just had bad luck. Just do it at home and have the negs scanned. If you don’t have much room, I found a daylight loading tank like the Rondinax or the newer Lab-Box to be a useful buy. All the hardware fits in a shoebox.
It was a pain to look for a shop that would process monochrome film. This is where I took my last Ilford roll to be developed. Good luck! [Print Land ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/e96f5LAU1c4JJkof8)
