Here’s where to buy plus size clothes in Yokohama and the surrounding Kanagawa area. I’ve mapped out plus size fashion stores across the city, including Japanese brands and retailers carrying sizes 2L and up, to help you plan the perfect plus size shopping trip in one of Japan’s largest urban centers. As Japan’s second-largest city and part of the Greater Tokyo Area, Yokohama offers a good selection of plus size shopping options. Popular brands such as Re-J, Supure, and other Japanese plus size retailers can be found in shopping malls throughout the city. Many shoppers also travel into nearby Tokyo for even more choices, but Yokohama has enough stores to make it a worthwhile destination on its own. Areas such as Yokohama Station, Minato Mirai, Kamiooka, and Totsuka offer some of the best opportunities for plus size fashion shopping in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Here’s where to buy plus-size clothes in Aichi and Gifu prefectures. I’ve mapped out all of the plus-size fashion stores across the region, including Japanese brands and shops carrying sizes 2L and up, to help you plan the perfect plus-size shopping experience in central Japan. Have any plus size store recommendations in Aichi or Gifu? Leave a comment below! While Nagoya is in a separate prefecture from Gifu, many people travel the 30-40 minutes into Nagoya for more shopping options. Nagoya has a solid mix of shopping malls, local boutiques, and chain stores that carry plus sizes, while Gifu offers a smaller but still worthwhile selection if you’re willing to explore a bit beyond the main stations. Other cities such as Toyota, Toyohashi, Okazaki, and Ichinomiya have their own plus size offerings, but are far fewer than Nagoya.

Japanese budget fashion retailer Shimamura is making it easier for plus-size shoppers to browse its offerings with the launch of "Shimapocha Marche," a new online shopping destination opening on June 20 at 12:00 PM. The new storefront will bring together fashion and lifestyle items designed for plus size customers, including clothing, shoes, accessories, innerwear, and more. Products from several Shimamura Group brands, including Shimamura, Avail, Chambre, and Divaro, will all be available in one place. One of the most exciting aspects of the launch is that plus-s ze items from multiple brands will finally be organized into a dedicated section. Until now, finding plus size items often meant browsing individual brand pages and checking product listings one by one. Having everything gathered under the Shimapocha Marche banner should make the shopping experience much more convenient. As someone who regularly browses Shimamura's plus-size offerings, I'm particularly happy to see this change. Shimamura carries everything from everyday basics to trendy collaborations, but it hasn't always been obvious which items are available in larger sizes unless you visit a store or spend time digging through the online shop. Many shoppers may also not realize that the online store often carries sizes larger than what is stocked in physical locations, making it a valuable resource for those who struggle to find their size in-store. The launch also reflects the continued growth of Japan's plus-size fashion market. While specialty retailers have traditionally led the way, mainstream brands are increasingly recognizing the demand for inclusive sizing and dedicated shopping experiences. With Shimapocha Marche, Shimamura is taking a meaningful step toward making its plus-size selection easier to discover and shop online. Shimapocha Marche Instagram: instagram.com/shimapocha.marche

For an easy, everyday makeup look in the hot Japanese summer, I prefer using tinted moisturizers (BB or CC Cream) or tone-up sunscreens. These lightweight base products provide natural, all-over coverage while also offering added SPF protection, making them ideal for daily wear. I usually save medium to full-coverage foundation for evenings or special occasions. In the peak of summer heat, I often find myself refreshing my face with cool water or cooling sheets throughout the day, so reapplying heavy foundation multiple times is simply not practical for me. With a tinted moisturizer, I can reapply quickly when I freshen up on the go. The Difference Between BB Creams, CC Creams, and Tone-Up Sunscreen In Japan, base makeup products that are similar to tinted moisturizers are usually divided into BB creams (BBクリーム), CC creams (CCクリーム), and tone-up sunscreens (トーンアップ日焼け止め). BB creams offer the most coverage of the three. They typically combine skincare, foundation, and sun protection in one product, making them a convenient all-in-one base. BB creams are ideal if you want to even out skin tone, cover minor imperfections, and still keep a natural finish without using heavy foundation. CC creams are lighter than BB creams and focus more on color correction rather than coverage. They are designed to improve uneven skin tone, reduce redness, and brighten the complexion while keeping the skin looking natural and fresh. Tone-up sunscreens (トーンアップ日焼け止め) are the lightest option. These products prioritize sun protection and usually contain light-reflecting or brightening ingredients that give the skin a more radiant, even appearance. They provide minimal coverage but are perfect for a natural “no makeup” look, especially in hot and humid weather. All three options can be worn on their own or used as a base under foundation. When applied alone, they work as a color-correcting base or primer, helping to neutralize redness or dullness while adding a light touch of coverage for a more even complexion. Overall, the choice depends on how much coverage you prefer. BB creams offer the most coverage, CC creams sit in the middle with light color correction, and tone-up sunscreens give the most natural finish with a strong focus on SPF and skin brightness. Most Popular Japanese Tinted Moisturizer Alternatives Here are some of the most popular and easy-to-find options in Japan. Many of these products can be found in your local drugstore or online. Skin Aqua Tone-Up Sunscreen スキンアクア トーンアップUVエッセンス Skin Aqua Tone-Up UV Essence is a Japanese sunscreen that combines high UV protection (SPF50+ / PA++++) with a lightweight, tone-up effect that helps brighten and even out the skin. Depending on the variant, it can help reduce the appearance of redness or dullness and give the skin a more radiant finish. The texture is light and easy to spread, designed for comfortable wear even in hot and humid weather. It functions as a hybrid between sunscreen, primer, and light coverage base, making it ideal for everyday use when you want sun protection and a naturally enhanced complexion without heavy makeup.

This product is my personal favorite for BB Creams that provide even coverage. It's great for sensitive skin, and feels great on the skin. It combines skincare ingredients like ceramides and botanical extracts with mineral pigments to even out skin tone while keeping a natural finish. The formula is gentle, breathable, and can be removed easily with soap.

The KIMONOMACHI “Kimono Bargain Market” is a limited-time in-store shopping event held by Kyoto-based kimono retailer KIMONOMACHI. The event gives shoppers a rare opportunity to browse, try on, and purchase yukata, kimono, and traditional Japanese fashion items in person. Because most KIMONOMACHI products are normally sold online and stored in external warehouses, customers do not usually have the chance to see items before purchasing. During the Kimono Bargain Market, visitors can directly view the latest collections, including 2026 yukata releases, plus size yukata, men’s yukata, and kids’ styles. The event also features discounted items, recycled kimono, limited B-grade products, and discontinued designs from KIMONOMACHI’s original collections. Staff from the Kyoto Kimono Town online store will be available throughout the event to help customers with sizing, styling, and product recommendations. Known for its treasure-hunt atmosphere, the event attracts both kimono beginners and longtime kimono fans looking for unique finds and special discounts. Even first-time kimono and yukata shoppers are welcome at the KIMONOMACHI Kimono Bargain Market. Visitors can try on yukata in different sizes at the venue, while staff will help recommend obi pairings, accessories, and styling ideas based on each customer’s preferences. To help customers wear their yukata confidently after purchase, KIMONOMACHI will also provide QR codes linking to yukata dressing guides and instructional videos. No reservation is required, making the event an easy and beginner-friendly way to shop for yukata and traditional Japanese fashion in Kyoto. Plus Size Yukata & Accessories at the Event KIMONOMACHI will offer a wide range of plus size yukata and kimono options at the event, including women’s sizes up to 4L and men’s sizes up to 5L. Visitors of all body types will be able to try on items in person and find styles designed for a more comfortable fit. The event will also feature seasonal kimono accessories and innerwear designed for summer wear, including highly absorbent and quick-drying CoolPass 'nagajuban' (クールパス長襦袢, long under-kimono meant to reduce sweat), ro-collar slips (a slip-style undergarment worn under yukata or kimono), and lightweight 'sha kenjo Nagoya' obi (紗献上名古屋帯, a type of lightweight kimono belt). These items are designed to help customers wear yukata and summer kimono more comfortably during Japan’s hot festival season.

Over the past year, I’ve been working on improving my health and losing weight. So far, I’ve managed to mostly stay on track, but the constant issue of “food noise” and sticking to meal plans has always been difficult for me. GLP-1 injections like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have been on my radar ever since they first started becoming popular. I’d read about other people’s experiences getting them in Japan and had always been curious about trying them myself. While researching different clinics and prescription options, a friend recommended eLife Clinic after having a positive experience using their service. Since they offered an English website, online consultations, and delivery across Japan, it seemed like one of the easiest and most accessible options available. So, here’s my quick guide to how I got my GLP-1 medication in Japan. This isn’t a sponsored post, just my personal experience and honest thoughts after using the service myself. After comparing the medications, I personally chose Mounjaro injections, but you should do ample research to determine which medication is best for you and your goals. About eLife Clinic Japan eLife Clinic is an online medical clinic based in Tokyo that provides various medications to people across Japan. I first heard about it online, especially from people discussing medications like Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Wegovy for weight loss. They also offer things like emergency contraceptives (morning-after pill) and hair loss treatments. For many people living in Japan, especially non-Japanese speakers, it’s a convenient option because the clinic offers both English support and an English-language website. Health insurance coverage for GLP-1 injections in Japan eLife Clinic does not accept health insurance, so the full cost of treatment is entirely out of pocket. It is possible to get GLP-1 injections prescribed in Japan under National Health Insurance but you have to go through your local healthcare provider. These medications are still relatively new in Japan, and not all doctors are familiar with GLP-1 treatments or able to prescribe them. To qualify for insurance-covered GLP-1 medication for weight loss, you generally need to meet specific criteria. This usually includes having a high BMI along with weight-related medical conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, or similar health concerns. Your doctor may also require a monitoring period (often six months), regular blood work, and proof that you have already tried other weight loss methods first. The cost is dramatically lower if you qualify through health insurance, but the process to get a prescription can be lengthy and may not be available in all areas of Japan. If you prefer your health be monitored closely by a healthcare professional, or qualify for insurance coverage, it is worth looking into getting your medication prescribed from a local doctor. If you are okay paying the full price without insurance coverage and are willing to monitor your own health closely, online services like eClinic are a good option. What GLP-1 medications are available from eLife Clinic? Before choosing any GLP-1 medication, I strongly recommend doing extensive research into possible side effects, expected results, and any medication interactions with prescriptions you already take. Because these medications are prescribed online, you won’t necessarily have the benefit of regular in-person checkups. That means you are largely responsible for monitoring your own health and symptoms while taking them. If you have questions during the process, you can contact eLife Clinic through their English phone support or support chat. Available GLP-1 injections from eLife Clinic Mounjaro Ozempic Zepbound Wegovy Available oral diet medications from eLife Clinic Rybelsus Dapagliflozin Canagliflozin Understanding the subscription service When I ordered from eLife Clinic, I learned that medications are handled through a monthly subscription system. The first month is usually offered at a discounted rate, although promotions change throughout the year. After that, a regular monthly price applies. Be sure to read the details carefully before ordering so you understand the ongoing monthly cost. For example, I signed up for a Mounjaro subscription. I paid a discounted first-month price of ¥14,980 for four doses, then agreed to pay ¥19,980 per month afterward. The subscription required a minimum commitment of two months before I could cancel or make changes. It’s also important to read the fine print regarding shipment timing and subscription changes. You can pause or delay shipments if you need to take a break from the medication or if you know you’ll be traveling. Tip: If you add eLife Clinic on LINE before ordering, you can usually get an additional ¥2,500 discount on your first purchase. Comparison of GLP-1 Injections This chart was created in May 2026 using the current pricing listed by eLife Clinic. Prices and promotional discounts may change throughout the year. Price will depend on your dosage. These prices are for the lowest doses (starting doses). Medication Active Ingredient First Month (discounted price) Monthly Cost After First Month Mounjaro Tirzepatide ¥14,980/month ¥19,980/month Ozempic Semaglutide ¥16,900/month ¥16,900/month Zepbound Tirzepatide ¥14,980/month Varies by dosage Wegovy Semaglutide ¥19,980/month ¥24,980/month How I ordered from eLife Clinic Honestly, the process of getting my Mounjaro prescription was incredibly easy. Everything was done online and over the phone, and within three days of ordering, I was able to start the medication. Step 1 Visit eLife Clinic English website and browse the available medications. I personally signed up for this Mounjaro subscription. Step 2 Purchase the subscription online. Payment is required before the doctor consultation takes place. If the doctor denies your prescription for any reason, you receive a refund. Step 3 Schedule a phone consultation with the doctor. During the booking process, you’ll answer basic questions about your weight, medical history, and any medications you are currently taking. Step 4 The doctor calls you at the scheduled time you chose. In my case, I booked the appointment for the very next day after purchasing. During the call, they reviewed the medical history that I provided, current medications, and asked whether I had any questions or concerns. The entire consultation took less than five minutes. Step 5 Once approved, the medication ships immediately. I received mine 2 days after speaking with the doctor. Before starting any GLP-1 medication, make sure you research how to properly store, handle, and inject it. * If you need to increase your dosage in the future, you’ll need another consultation with the eLife doctor first. An increased dosage will cost more. My Experience with Mounjaro I’ll continue updating this post weekly as I progress through my experience using Mounjaro in Japan, including side effects, weight loss results, dosage changes, and overall thoughts over time. Week 1: The needle was easy to administer, and didn’t hurt too much. The effects of the medication were almost immediate. Throughout the week I occasionally felt nausea, but it was never debilitating. I've been able to stick to my meal plan perfectly, and am focusing on protein, colorful vegetables and limiting simple carbs and sugars. I did have some issues with nausea around meal times, so it helped to break my 3 meals into 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day (essentially snacks). This helped me avoid nausea, eat the amount of calories I needed, and prevented my sugars getting too low. I take the medication on Monday, and felt no hunger pangs until Saturday. Sunday I did feel some hunger, but it was manageable. Week 2: Coming soon

In Japan, you'll find plenty of pleasant-smelling deodorants, with roll-on perfume types being the most popular. However, these products are mostly designed to mask odor rather than stop sweating. If you're used to antiperspirants that reduce both sweat and odor, finding the right product can be tricky. Antiperspirants, which prevent sweating instead of just covering up the smell, are harder to find in Japan. Below you'll find our choices for best antiperspirants you can get in Japan - both Japanese products and imported options. Generally, Japanese products do have a lower concentration of antiperspirant ingredients, ranging from 5-15%, compared to imported options that have 10-20%. At this time, we've yet to test a Japanese product that performs as well as imported products. If you're someone who needs strong antiperspirant ingredients (ie: you sweat a lot, and don't want to smell like sweat), paying for imported options may be in your better interest. Jump to: Drugstore Antiperspirants (available off the shelf) Best Imported Antiperspirants (available online) Effective Antiperspirants are Classified as Quasi-Drugs Quasi-drugs (医薬部外品) are products that contain a certain concentration of medicinal ingredients and ingredients that have been approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare that effectively treat what they're advertised to do. Compared to pharmaceuticals (prescribed by a doctor), the effects are milder, but compared to cosmetics, they are more effective. A lot of Japanese deodorants are classed as cosmetic items . W hen looking for an effective antiperspirant, you want one that is classified as a quasi-drug , indicating it has the ingredients in it to be effective against sweat (often Aluminum Chlorohydrate and Isopropyl Methylphenol in Japanese antiperspirants). Local Drugstores: The Best Antiperspirants in Japan Ban Antiperspirant Deodorants This brand is widely available at most drugstores in Japan and offers a variety of forms. If you prefer stick-type deodorants over liquid roll-ons, this brand might be a good fit, as they offer many anti-sweat formulas in stick format. They have different types for various needs, but the ones to look for are in their sweat-blocking series. The key ingredients in this waterproof (and sweatproof) line are effective at minimizing sweat and keeping you dry throughout the day. Key Ingredients: Aluminum Chlorohydrate (antiperspirant), Isopropyl Methylphenol ( antiseptic) Where to Buy : Drugstores, Don Quijote Mentholatum Refrea Deodorant Cream (メンソレータム リフレア デオドラントクリーム) This antiperspirant from Rohto Pharmaceutical features two active antibacterial ingredients designed to combat the bacteria that cause sweat-related odors. It comes in a cream or lotion format, typically applied by hand. However, we don't recommend this product for individuals with sensitive skin or those prone to dermatitis, as Benzalkonium Chloride, while an effective antiseptic, is known to irritate the skin in some people. Key Ingredients: Benzalkonium Chloride   ( antiseptic), Isopropyl Methylphenol ( antiseptic), Aluminum Chlorohydrate  (antiperspirant) Where to Buy : Drugstores, Don Quijote A g Premium Deodorant Spray (Agプレミアム デオドラントスプレー) This drugstore  antiperspirant is in spray format. It has a powder finish, staying on the skin throughout the day. The product is well-received for its fast-drying, non-sticky formula, and some users appreciate its long-lasting effect, especially in hot and humid conditions. For those concerned with fragrance, there's also a fragrance-free version that can suit individuals with sensitivities. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for a light antiperspirant in Japan, but it may not perform exactly like Western brands in terms of heavy-duty sweat prevention. Key Ingredients: Aluminum Chlorohydrate  (antiperspirant), Isopropyl Methylphenol ( antiseptic) , Zinc Oxide ( prevents skin irritation) Best Imported Antiperspirants 1. Old Spice Antipersperant Deodarants Old Spice is a popular men's grooming brand known for its bold scents and strong sweat protection. While it’s not commonly found in Japanese drugstores, it’s easily available online through one of the most popular import stores, iHerb. If you’re looking for a powerful stick-type antiperspirant rather than a roll-on or spray, Old Spice offers a wide range of solid options designed specifically to fight sweat. Look for their antiperspirant series (not just deodorant) for formulas that contain aluminum-based ingredients to block sweat. These sticks are sweatproof, long-lasting, and ideal for those who need reliable all-day dryness. Old Spice offers many scents to choose from and typically leans more woodsy (sandalwood, oak, cedar, etc.) rather than floral. The strongest of all the Old Spice antiperspirant options on iHerb is the Old Spice Clinical  series, which contains 20% active ingredient. Key Ingredients: Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex (10-20%) (antiperspirant) Where to Buy:  iherb 2. Arm & Hammer, UltraMax™, Antiperspirant Deodorant This is one of the most affordable imported antiperspirants on the market. At less than ¥700 per stick, it’s no surprise that it’s a bestseller on iHerb. It contains an impressive 19% active antiperspirant ingredient, rivaling the slightly more expensive Old Spice options. The scents from Arm & Hammer are subtle and familiar in Japan, including baby powder and unscented varieties. Key Ingredients: Aluminum Chlorohydrate (19%) (antiperspirant) Where to Buy:  iherb, Amazon 3. Secret CLINICAL Antiperspirant Made with similar antiperspirant ingredients as Old Spice Clinical Series, Secret CLINICAL is another great option for those looking for more subtle scents. Key Ingredients: Aluminum Zirconium   Tetrachlorohydrex (20%)   (antiperspirant) Where to Buy:  iherb, Amazon, Mercari Honorable Mentions QUADAYS Medicated Deodorant Gel (薬用デオドラントジェル) This fragrance-free, gel-type deodorant comes in a convenient pump bottle and is priced higher than many drugstore alternatives at ¥2700 for a 40ml bottle, which should last around two months.

Japanese plus size fashion has become much more accessible in recent years; however, international shipping is still surprisingly rare. If you live outside Japan, using a proxy shipping service is often the easiest and most reliable way to shop from the Japanese brands you love. In many cases, it is the only option international shoppers have to access Japanese fashion. The plus size brands listed below are well-known in Japan and each offers its own distinct style and fit. Size ranges can vary widely between brands, so be sure to check each brand’s size chart and review the measurements for individual items before placing your order. Proxy Shipping Services - Buy Plus Size Japanese Fashion From Any Brand A proxy shipping service allows you to buy from any Japanese brand or website. There are many reputable services, including our favorite, Buyee. How it works: Proxy shipping services act as a middle step between you and a Japan-only store. You place your order through the proxy, they receive the package at their Japanese address, and then they forward it to your country. It’s an easy way to buy from shops that don’t offer international shipping, and most services also help with things like payment, consolidation, and tracking. You pay an additional fee to use a proxy service, but if you have your heart set on an item that can't be shipped internationally, it may be worth it to you! Proxy shipping also allows you to shop on sites like Mercari, one of Japan's more popular online marketplaces. Mercari is the place to shop online for gently used plus size Japanese fashion. It's essentially thrift shopping - but online! Plus Size Japanese Fashion Brands With International Shipping At this time there are only two Japanese fashion sites that offer international shipping directly from the brand. All others listed below, including Dear My Love, recommend using a proxy shipping service. ACDC Rag If you're looking for Japanese subculture fashion, ACDC Rag is the first place to look.

BodyLine (ボディライン) If you're into sweet and girly fashion looks, cosplay, or lolita fashion, BodyLine offers international shipping and an English-language version of their website. Their plus size range is small, with only select items being available in up to size 4L. Dear My Love (ディアマイラブ) The plus size line, DreamMyLove Whip, is the place to shop for Jirai Kei looks and general girly Japanese fashion in larger sizes. DearMyLove has the largest collection in these styles, and the largest range of sizes (up to 6L). While the site does not ship internationally, their website does include a very comprehensive guide on proxy shipping services, including the ones that they recommend. They often run sales and special promotions. Note: You can find many gently used Dear My Love items on Mercari at a fraction of the cost.
