Discovery Japan Mall is a general mall that specializes in Japanese brand products. At the initial opening, the catalog includes mainly toys, fishing gear, cosmetics, food, watches, and fashion. Approximately 100 Japanese companies have opened stores with Discovery Japan Mall, and about 15,000 Japanese brand goods can be purchased.

Shipping is available to more than 120 countries and regions and as part of the opening campaign, free international shipping is offered for orders over JPY 20,000 (RMB1,300/HKD1,500/NT$6,000) until the end of October. In addition to credit cards, the mall supports payment by PayPal, UnionPay, AliPay, and WeChat, and the website is available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Indonesian, Korean and Thai.

Purchases can be made easily using a smartphone, and because all orders include tracking and shipping insurance, delivery from Japan is safe and reliable, so buyers can make purchases with confidence from the website.

The mall is also planning to sell handmade iPad and MacBook cases using Nishijin-ori fabric, which is used to make Japanese kimonos, and there are future plans to lease stores to unique makers of handmade goods, in particular those who use advanced Japanese embroidery technology to make goods from kimonos, whose specialty is “Wafu” design that conjures up images of Japan.

Message from company representative Norio Itabashi

Japan is said to be the world’s largest local market. With their advanced technology and superior craftsmanship, there a lot of hidden unique Japanese products that do not reach the overseas market. Discovery Japan Mall is coming together with craftsmen and the manufacturers of these products to sell Japan’s unique products through its website. We will increase the number of stores, with a target of 30,000 products by the end of 2016, and 100,000 in the 2017 fiscal year.
