💡 Buying tip of the week
Chiikawa Market has an official English store that ships worldwide — most items don't need a proxy at all. If the page flips back to Japanese, add ?currency=USD to the URL to keep the English view. Only items tagged Japan-only need a forwarding service.
Sanrio fans: Sanrio also runs its own official international store (Sanrio Online Shop Direct from Japan) that ships to many countries — worth checking there first for many Sanrio items; you only need a proxy if what you want isn't listed.
Kawaii Drops tracks official Japanese sources so you never miss a Japan-only release. We only describe official purchase routes and reputable proxy services — always follow each shop's purchase limits and terms.
