Japan is well-known for its global retail brands such as Aeon, Uniqlo, and Muji. While these brands have a worldwide presence, there are many other uniquely Japanese brands and products that can only be found within Japan.
Additionally, the Japanese ACG (anime, comic, games) subculture has created a strong demand for quality merchandise. Many global fans crave genuine items or local/special editions from Gundam, Ghibli, Pikachu, Sanrio, and Demon’s Slayer, to name a few. For ACG fans, you might want to check out Ninoma which offers worldwide shipping.
However, shopping on Japanese websites has been a challenge due to language barriers, and many of these sites do not offer international shipping. The good news is, there are several Japanese online shopping platforms or proxy shopping services that cater to English-speaking customers and provide global shipping.
We’ve gathered a list of 5 Japanese online shopping platforms that ship to many parts of the world, making it possible for you to treasure hunt!
