Bigger deals than US Prime Day โ€” on Japanese exclusives.

Why Amazon Japan Prime Day Matters

  2. Sign up for Amazon Japan Prime (ยฅ600/month or ยฅ5,900/year)
  3. Add your international address for AmazonGlobal items
  4. Browse deals when Prime Day starts

  • Electronics: Japanese appliances, headphones, cameras
  • Kitchen: Zojirushi, Tiger products at yearly lows
  • Snacks: Bulk snack packs and subscription boxes

Tips

  • Lightning Deals sell out fast โ€” add items to cart immediately

  • Use a forwarding service for Japan-only deals
  • Cancel Prime membership before renewal if you only want Prime Day access
