New to buying from Japan?

Most Japanese online stores ship only within Japan. Two reliable workarounds:

Option A — A proxy buys it for you (easiest)

  1. Sign up free with Japan Rabbit, Buyee or ZenMarket.
  2. Paste the store link — they purchase the item for you (no Japanese account or card needed).
  3. They receive it in Japan and ship it to your country.

Option B — Get your own Japanese address

  1. Register with a forwarding service like tenso.com or Blackship — you get a personal Japanese address (ID verification required).
  2. Order on the Japanese store yourself, entering that address as the delivery address.
  3. When the parcel reaches their warehouse, pay international shipping and they forward it to you.

Heads-up: some Japanese stores decline non-Japanese credit cards — if payment fails, Option A avoids the problem. Always follow each shop's purchase limits and terms.
