Details

Rakuten Japan is a mall-style marketplace, not a single retailer. It's where you find authentic Japanese skincare (Shiseido, SK-II, Hada Labo), audio gear, anime/collectibles, and Japanese fashion at Japanese prices — usually 30–50% under what "imported from Japan" listings cost elsewhere.

Use your free iWishBag Tokyo address as your Rakuten delivery, or send us the link and we'll buy on your behalf in Japanese.

Getting started

  1. Sign up for iWishBag — your Tokyo address is ready instantly.
  2. Create a Rakuten account at rakuten.co.jp. Use Chrome's right-click "Translate to English" for Japanese pages.
  3. Shop and check out using your iWishBag Tokyo address. Many Rakuten shops accept international cards; some don't (try a different shop selling the same product, or use "we shop for you").
  4. We receive at our Tokyo warehouse, photograph for QC, hold for consolidation.
  5. Pay forwarding locally with cards or PayPal. Total transit usually 13–26 days.

What ships well from Rakuten

  • Beauty & skincare — Shiseido, SK-II, Hada Labo, DHC, Kose, Kanebo at authentic Japanese prices
  • Anime & collectibles — Bandai, Good Smile figures, limited editions, manga, merchandise
  • Audio & cameras — Sony, Panasonic, Canon at Japan-spec pricing (check voltage)
  • Fashion — Uniqlo, GU, Japanese streetwear. Sizes often run small; check cm/inch charts
  • Stationery & craft — quality unavailable elsewhere

For most things, check both before buying — the same product can be priced 10–20% differently.

Worth knowing

  • Voltage matters for Japanese electronics — Japan is 100V. Check for "dual-voltage" or "AC100-240V" specs before buying anything that plugs in
  • Rice cookers, hair dryers, certain beauty tools are often Japan-only voltage. They'll need a step-down converter at the destination
  • Sale weeks: Super Sale (March/June/Sept/Dec), Rakuten Marathon (monthly), Black Friday (November). Order 2–3 weeks ahead during these windows
  • Save shop ratings before buying — Rakuten is a marketplace and quality varies more than Amazon
  • For anime pre-orders, expect 2–6 month timelines. Coordinate with us so we hold at the Tokyo warehouse until release
