Moneybookers
We can accept payments by Moneybookers in Japanese Yen only.
Unfortunately, they no longer allow the US customers to send money.
There is no Moneybookers payment option on our website. Please contact us if you need to pay with Moneybookers.
We will transact it manually.
International Bank Wire
We can accept bank wires in Japanese Yen only.
Payment Handling is not required for bank wires but you have to pay bank wire fee around US$40 to your bank.
You also have to add about 3,500 Japanese Yen on the total as our Japanese banks deduct their fee.
Bank Wire is not suitable for small payment under 200,000 Japanese Yen.
If you need to send payment bank wire, please contact us for detail.
Domestic Payments in Japan
If you are in Japan, you can send money to our bank accounts directly from ATM.
Or if you are student or working in Japan, you should be able to open bank account and you can send money online.
If you need to send payment domestically in Japan, please contact us for detail.
Cash
We don’t accept cash payment as it is not traceable.
International Postal Money Order
We used to accept International Postal Money Orders (IPMO) a lot but we stopped taking them because we have to drive to
the designated post office. Also, to cash IPMO would take 1 hour as their verification process take very long since they received
many fake IPMO in the past.
Bank Checks & Money Orders by financial institutions
To cash bank checks that issued by foreign banks takes very long and costs too much.
For the same reason, we cannot take Money Orders by companies like Amex or Moneygram.
Western Union
We also cannot take payment by Western Union as there is no agents for them in Japan at this moment.
Seven Bank announced that they are working with Western Union in the near future.
If there service is suitable for us to receive money from outside Japan, we would use them in the future.
Google Checkout
We used to take payments by Google Checkout through our US company in Nevada but we decided to stop it.
The reason is we have changed our payment currency to Japanese Yen but they only handle US$.
We will take Google Checkout again when they start handling Japanese yen.
