Top 10 Recommended Items to Buy in Japan – Both Therapeutic and Practical

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Department

Japanese products are always highly creative and practical. Many travelers go to Japan with empty suitcases and return fully loaded, showing that shopping has become an essential part of the trip. However, not everyone can often travel to Japan, so shopping by proxy has become a trend in recent years. Below are ten recommended items to buy, ranging from practical to therapeutic. Travelers might consider adding these to their shopping list on their next trip to Japan, or even start putting together a proxy shopping list now.

1. AromaAromatherapy Soap – Good Omen
 
Aroma Aromatherapy Soap – Good Omen is infused with 100% natural essential oil extracted from the peels of Ehime Prefecture’s specialty Iyokan citrus. Iyokan is known for its unique sweet-tart flavor and refreshing aroma, rich in limonene which effectively helps soothe both body and mind. The soap offers an aromatherapy effect when used.

2. Rolling Gum Care Toothbrush RUNDA
 
The RUNDA rolling-head toothbrush allows you to care for your oral health simply by rolling it over your teeth and gums. This toothbrush makes oral care easy and effective for both adults and children. Its rolling brush head, packed with approximately 16,000 ultra-fine bristles (about 20 times more than a regular toothbrush), each measuring just 0.076mm in diameter, effectively removes plaque stuck to teeth through capillary action.

3. Umbrella with Bag Hook – rumbrella 'BASIC
 
rumbrella recently launched a comfortable commuting umbrella suitable for use on trains and other public transport. The handle is shaped like an “r” and features a protruding section where you can hang your bag.
