(No Upper Limit like this!!)



However, you should accept two terms to get the reward.

1. The reward will be generated at the time your friends make Shipping Request and send Campaign Form. (The form is in the middle of this page)

2. It should be your friends' First Purchase on PIJ. If they have purchase histories on PIJ in the past, the reward will not be sent.


Speaking details, you share PIJ with your friend, and your friend will buy something on PIJ, and your friend has to make all payments including the international shipping. If you are a PIJ customer, I'm sure you have known it well.


All payments are both of 1st Payment and 2nd Payment. The 1st payment includes item's price, commission fee, etc. And the 2nd payment refers to payment of Shipping from Japan to your country. If you need to learn about the commission and handling, please go to our information page. All are written in this page.


If your friends make all payments (includes the 2nd payment), he/she will send us a form. (You can get the form in the middle of this page) The form requires your friend to type in his/her name and Shipping number which PIJ will issue when your friend will make shipping request. So after the campaign will finish, we will check the form, and we will send reward to you. (and to your friends)



There are a lot of categories on PIJ and I'm sure that your friends will be able to find his/her treasures on the site! Also, I'm sure that your friends will be excited with those great Japanese items listed on Yahoo Japan Auctions! Why don't you share PIJ now?


Notice: We will take discount commission rate from October! We will announce it soon by emails or PIJ top page. Please look forward to it! :)

Does Yahoo Japan Auctions work in English?

Does Yahoo Japan Auctions work in English?

Yahoo Japan Auctions is the largest auctions site in Japan. There are huge active users dealing and enjoying the auctions, but basically it has been built for Japanese Only. As you may know, the dealing has been taken among Japanese Only and all characters is written in Japanese. Yes, almost titles and descriptions are written in Japanese. If you don't know Japanese, you have to use something like Google or Bing Translator when you wanna understand the item's detail. If you have visited Yahoo Japan Auctions before, you have already known there are so many awesome items listed in the site by Japanese people. However, you would meet people who cannot speak English or people who never deal with people who don't speak Japanese. 

Well, what should I do? I wanna buy from Yahoo Japan Auctions!

To buy from Yahoo Japan Auctions, you have to live in Japan and also you need to speak and write Japanese correctly. Almost sellers on Yahoo Japan Auctions don't ship abroad. Yes, you have to have your own Japanese address to receive your items. Also you have to contact sellers in Japanese to confirm shipping address, how to pay, etc. It looks simple to do in the dealing as a buyer, but the language barrier would disturb the dealing.

Use shopping services in Japan

The best way to bid or buy from Yahoo Japan Auctions is to make friends or have someone who receive your item in Japan on behalf of you. Actually, there are some shopping service which helps your shopping in Japan. Explaining simply, the agent (service) buy (or bid) for the item you want on behalf of you and receive it at their Japanese address. After that, they ship it to you directly by the international shipping. Of course, in many cases, you need to pay commission or handling fee for using those services, but you wouldn't be concerned about the language barrier any more when you use them. Also they always make clear for something you want to know on the item if you contact by email.

Figure Skating - Hanyu shows he's the ultimate survivor

A journey that almost ended three years ago when Yuzuru Hanyu watched in horror as the ice cracked beneath his blades and the ground shook violently, culminated in glorious triumph 8,000 kilometres away at the Sochi Olympics.

That magnitude 9.0 earthquake near Hanyu's home city of Sendai in March 2011 not only destroyed his training arena but also set off a massive tsunami and nuclear disaster that ultimately claimed nearly 20,000 lives in Japan.With memories of the day when he had to crawl off the ice to flee the collapsing building still fresh, he said he had been close to giving up the dreams that led him to become the first Japanese skater to win the men's Olympic title."It's a very difficult subject for me to talk about," said the 19-year-old, who became the second youngest man after Dick Button in 1948 to win the top prize."I lost my skating rink because of the earthquake and I was literally struggling to live at that time, let alone to try to keep skating. I really thought about quitting skating then. Read more
