Online shopping site in Japan

Which online shopping site in Japan is most user friendly for foreigners, i.e., has English service and most streamlined? I tried a few and when I click for an English version, it directs me to their foreign site which will charge exorbitant overseas shipping charges (as goods are shipped from outside Japan).

    By using Google Chrome browser with instant on-line translation makes it relatevly easy to shop on most of Japanese web sites. Amazon.co.jp is probably the best choice overall. By buying a gift certificate in any convenience store, you can do easy shopping even without credit card.

    I agree with the others here. I think amazon.jp is pretty easy to navigate with minimum Japanese, and can easily calculate postage to your Japanese address.

    Amazon JP has a lot of English on its basic platform, other than the descriptions of items that the sellers type themselves which you can try to Google translate. Shipping is great on amazon JP too.

Therapy Cats

Hello! I heard it was hard to find apartments that accept pets in Japan. I have a therapy cat who will absolutely have to come with me on my journey. Does anyone know if Japan apartments recognize therapy cats or how hard would it be to get my baby accepted? Thank you for the help!

Your favorite summer getaway spots?

Any favorite places you all have to get away to during the stinking hot summer months? I would love a long weekend away somewhere (ideally cooler!) We did Hakodate/Aomori one summer and really enjoyed it. Would love to hear your suggestions.
