-Shop cute Japanese products and cool products from Japan. This cute blog is about Japanese kawaii, kawaii Japan, kawaii fashion, Japanese pop culture and more. It's a kawaii blog from Japan, Japan blog in English by a Japanese girl.

There are voices from my blog readers that they want to buy Decotti or any other kawaii goods from Japan just like I enjoy shopping in Japan. But unfortunately there are several reasons that make it hard for foreigners to shop from Japan.

1)Most of Japanese shops do not ship outside Japan.
2)Some shops do not accept credit cards issued outside Japan.
3)Many shops have only Japanese pages without English ones, and your registration is also required in Japanese.

It sounds like we are so closed against the world even today as internet almost ignores borders, and it looks like nothing has been so much changed since 1639 national isolation from other nations. (You may understand what I am speaking of, if you learned Japanese history.)

Then people those who are non-Japanese and living outside Japan without a credit card that is issued inside Japan should give up the opportunity to shop from Japanese online stores?

I’d say no. How could we such close-minded? There are companies which help such incompatibility.

1)Sere-nde
I have a banner of Sere-nde in the sidebar (the red one under Rakuten) so you can come back when you want to.

2)Danke Danke

3)Ooh! Japan

I’m sorry I cannot write a review because I am a Japanese resident who do not need such service. Do you feel like making use of their services? If yes, what is your next problem? Would you like kawaii Japanese online shops info. from me, for example? Would you like to improve your Japanese skills more so that you can understand what’s in Japanese webpages?

You can also check out Rakuten shopping in English, which I have a banner in the sidebar above Sere-nde banner, and you can browse Japanese online shops roughly. I say roughly because Rakuten international service picks up only stores that can ship outside. In that sense, it’s different from Rakuten store in Japan.

I found a cute link to Rakuten Japan. (This is the one Japanese people use for shopping.) We like cuteness everywhere! haha!! XD
