    Ah shoes sizes are really difficult to find in Japan for western people. Some of my friend were mention about it. they are going to the store which is from europe like H&M. Online shop which called LOCONDO http://www.locondo.jp/ , you can return even after shipping. So it is online store but you don't have to pay return fee, if it's not fit. Maybe you can't find any shoes that fits in you at Japanese retail store. :(

    Definitely try Rakuten! Rakuten will have size options you can select. I know that feeling, my feet are way too big for regular "LL" size shoes. I think Rakuten Japan has an English option as well, so it should be easy!

    For a bit of everything have you had a look at ZOZOTOWN? - http://zozo.jp/ Although, no English-language function with this site, that I know of.

    I usually buy from Nissen. They have women's size clothes up to 10L and men's up to 8L. Shoes too. I get most of my clothes and shoes from them. No problems with returns.

    I don't know about online, but for actual stores, I've seen bigger shoe sizes at ABC Mart and other shoe stores too. Good luck.

    My Aussie friends recommended Asos - anything over a $20.00 purchase is free shipping world wide (I just ordered from them and was pretty happy with the results!) I know your frustration well - Good luck!

    Shoes are easy. I am a 10.5 US (28.5 in Japan) and have had almost no problem finding my size. As others have said, if you go online you will find your size. ABC Mart and the "official" stores you can find in most malls/department stores (ex. Adidas, Adidas Originals, Asics, Nike etc.) usually have my size as well. If they don't have your size in store, look on their official websites. Pants/jeans are easy too - most Japanese chain stores (Right On, UNIQLO, GU) have my size (US32x32). When in doubt, try it on. Even when written in the US measurements, some are still too small/too big (same as the US though). T-shirts are harder - I am 6`2" and have bought way too many t-shirts that were just too small (vertical-wise), especially at UNIQLO or other cool T-shirt stores. I have found the XL at GU or ZARA is close to a US L, but quality is a mixed-bag there. Most Japanese shops are just too small. Long sleeve is also very hard (sleeves are just too shirt). When in doubt, head to GAP or OLD NAVY. New shops for each store sprung up last year in my city.

    Shoes are really difficult to find. I have a 41 (europe) and that will be a 25.5 or LLL in Japan and any shop that I went had those sizes. I have never try online shopping. On the other hand, on a shop call earth and ecology, sometimes I have seen sizes up to 25.5 but too expensive for me

    Try shopping at asian websites like wish.com and always order 2 to 3 sizes lrger than what your size is in the US like for example I am a medium in the US so i wear and buy XL.

    Definitely rakuten, or Amazon Japan, not US. Locondo is good, too.

    ASOS has free delivery and returns. NEXT let's you shop in Yen which is great if you are paid in Yen.

    I really like next online store. The delivery is really quick too. Their sizes can sometimes be a little bit bigger than you expect. I think because my expectation is things to be small after living in Japan but next sizes always seem to be generous.

What sakura apps / websites are you using in 2024?

What websites or Apps are you using to keep track of the bloom stages of cherry blossoms in 2024? I usually use a mix of Tenki.jp, Yahoo and Jorudan and another one that I have forgotten! (I delete them at the end of each season to free up space on my phone). I occasionally use the app from JMA, but I don't like its set up. Are there any other Apps or websites you recommend? TIA

What's in your toshikoshi soba?

What do you put in your toshikoshi soba? One year I sauteed some chicken and naganegi to start a broth augmented with tsuyu, cooked the soba separately, and served the broth with kamaboko slices.

Transferring Pension

I'm currently sorting through EVERYTHING I bought back from Japan with me, so you'll get all your new blogs soon. I came across some documents that I actually completed when I came back from Japan, which was to do with pensions. This took me a while to figure out because it was complicated. Would you like to know how to transfer your pension to you from Japan? People say you can't. The things is... you can.

My FIRST Log! Would You Like to Hear it?

In my last post I asked what you would like to hear from me now I have left. I was digging through some stuff the other day and I found my very FIRST book log that I kept when I toured Japan originally. I was thinking about typing it up and reminding myself of what my younger self thought of Japan. Would you like to hear about what I got up to? I'm not sure if I can even remember! HA!!
