How Can Foreigners Buy Popular Japanese Products?

Hello, I’m the owner of Chill Greenhouse, based in Japan.
I live in Japan and help people all over the world purchase Japanese products such as anime merchandise, electronics, and brand items that are difficult to buy overseas.

Amazon Japan

🔗 https://www.amazon.co.jp

Amazon Japan offers a wide range of Japanese products, including anime goods, electronics, books, and daily necessities. Some sellers provide international shipping, but many items are restricted to Japan only.

⚠️ Because this is a Japan-based purchase, additional service fees or handling charges may apply depending on the seller.

Rakuten

🔗 https://www.rakuten.co.jp

Rakuten is one of Japan’s largest e-commerce platforms, known for official brand stores and exclusive collaborations. However, most shops operate entirely in Japanese and do not ship internationally.

⚠️ Since purchases are made directly from Japan, proxy fees or extra transaction costs may be required.

Yahoo! Shopping Japan

🔗 https://shopping.yahoo.co.jp

Yahoo! Shopping Japan features many small domestic retailers and limited-time offers. While prices can be attractive, international shipping is rarely supported.

⚠️ As orders are processed within Japan, additional intermediary or service fees may occur.

Buying from Japanese Physical Stores Online

Animate (Anime Merchandise)

🔗 https://www.animate-onlineshop.jp

Animate is a must-know store for anime fans, offering official figures, Blu-rays, manga, and exclusive items. Unfortunately, overseas shipping is very limited.

⚠️ Because items are sold domestically in Japan, international buyers may need to pay extra proxy or handling fees.

Bic Camera / Yodobashi Camera (Electronics)

🔗 https://www.yodobashi.com

These major electronics retailers sell cameras, gaming devices, and Japanese home appliances. International access is possible, but checkout and support are mainly in Japanese.

⚠️ Purchasing electronics from Japan may involve additional service fees and international processing costs.

Using Proxy & Forwarding Services

Many international customers rely on proxy or forwarding services to buy Japanese products. These services purchase items on your behalf and ship them overseas.

However, users should be aware that:

• Fees vary by service
• Some charge per item, others per order
• Communication quality differs greatly

⚠️ Since products are purchased inside Japan, extra service, commission, or consolidation fees are often added.
