Private Import Japan Blog

Finding Japanese products online can be difficult if you can’t read and write Japanese, but there are ways to find all those high-quality rare items you want from Japan without knowing the language.
Here are some tips that can make your Japanese online shopping life a lot easier.


1. Getting the original title from Wikipedia

Wikipedia is very useful for translating the titles of movies, anime series, dorama, manga and all sorts of famous Japanese media.
First, do a Google search for the media you’re trying to find items for.

For example, “Sailormoon". Then, click on the Wikipedia result.










In the Wikipedia page, you will find the original title written in Japanese.

All you need to do is copy this title into PIJ search bar to find items related to this series in Yahoo Auctions.

2. Find item names in Japanese with Google Translate

Of course, searching for the original title in Japanese alone won’t do much for you if you wish to find a specific type of product.

For example, "plush doll" of Sailor moon. In this case, Google Translate will be better.
Head over to Google Translate and set your language pairs.
 (EX)English to Japanese.




Then, copy and paste the result of your translation in the PIJ search bar (you may combine it with the name of the series or movie you like!).






If it is hard to find the item you are looking for, don’t worry.
PIJ staff will do their best to help you find your items.

Please feel free to ask us by email or via contact form, with information about what it is your looking for.

Did you become difficult to search for products on the PIJ website, recently?
We are really sorry for the inconvenience...
http://www.private-import-japan.com/

Recently, because of the change of the program we are using in our website, sometimes some of parts of our website doesn't translate Japanese to English automatically.

We will adjust this feature on our future website update.
However, now there is "Google translate" as a free Google chrome plug-in.

It's easy to try by your side as of now. Sorry for the inconvenience, but try to translate as a following way when you need.
Of course you can choose Chinese, French or any other language here if you wish.

Please see following pictures.
I hope these 2 pictures will help you.


This is the first page.



And this is item page.




Here is still working the translate function.




You can put English keyword, and choose "English to Japanese".

Then the English keyword you input translated to Japanese automatically, and will be searched in Yahoo Japan Auction by the Japanese keyword.

If you have any question, please let me know. We can help you to search.
