Japan Duty Free GINZA turns the typical airport duty-free concept on its head. Instead of last-minute sprints through crowded terminals, you can shop up to two months before your departure date. Simply select your items, share your flight details, and then pick up your purchases smoothly at Haneda or Narita Airport before flying out.

For certain categories like watches, jewelry, and plushies priced over 5,000 yen, you can even take them home immediately — ideal if you’re traveling onward from Japan without passing through Narita or Haneda.

One of the most popular corners of the store is the Yukata section, where you can try on a cotton, casual kimono (yukata) in a relaxed environment before purchasing. Sizes are available for everyone from babies to adults. Stuffed animals wearing kimono are also available for purchase.

The store also features rotating pop-up events, like a charming Chiikawa character collaboration we saw during our visit, and a Japanese Sweets showcase.
