Service for Japan Traveler

Travel with your personal shopping address in Japan!

It is hard to move around with a lot of souvenirs during a trip to Japan.
Rakuten Global Express allows you to go shopping without any need to carry your own items by providing your personal "ADDRESS FOR SHIPPING"! Items purchased at stores during your stay, and even items on Japanese shopping sites, will be delivered to your home outside Japan in one package.
