Where Can I Buy Packing/Shipping Boxes Online?

Hi, Does anyone know a website that I can buy blank packing/shipping boxes from? I want to send some (largeish) boxes of stuff overseas from Japan. I know I can buy them from garden and hardware stores like DAIKI, but I no longer have a car to bring them home in, so I am specifically looking for online places to order them from and have them delivered to my apartment. Does AMAZON JP sell them? Can anyone post a link or let me know the search term in Japanese?

    Since you're asking for blank, I suppose it's for commercial usages. Just in case it's personal-use and prints don't matter, I always recommend people to head to the closest "recycle collection sites" and grab those boxes for free lol.

What do you MOST associate with Oita?

Seen as there was a good response to the same question for Ibaraki AND today is Oita Prefecture day (although they don't celebrate it), what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say "Oita Prefecture"? I have written a post about Oita Prefecture day with what I most associate with it, but I won't write it here so as not to influence your answer, but you can read the post here; https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/BigfamJapan/Mnv34-living_oita

Japanese names you love?

I blogged yesterday about this year's top baby names in Japan, and there was quite a focus on nature and calmness in the most popular picks. I was wondering if there are any Japanese names you love for the meaning behind them. Maybe you have a friend, coworker, or even family member with a beautiful name. I'd be happy to hear what it is, and why you like it so much!

Fears in Japan that you didn't have in your home country?

I've written a number of blogs here on City-Cost about how bears are a real worry in my area these days, and it's something that I didn't have to concern myself with in my home country. I know people talk about snakes and spiders in Australia being deadly (and yes, there are some types that are), but they're not typically going to come and attack you unprovoked. Also, it's a lot easier to outrun a snake or a spider than a bear ;) I'm curious about the rest of you, if you have fears here that maybe weren't present in your country of origin. Let me know in the comments!
