Returns and Exchanges



We do not accept requests for returns and exchanges. Customers may keep the delivered products and are encouraged to refrain from returning the product to Japan.

However, if you encounter a case that needs product exchange, limited to the cause of a damaged product, missing product, or product not as ordered, for which we are at fault, please email us at infojapanstore@kawashima.shop. After reviewing the case, we can arrange a Product Reshipment at the discretion of KAWASHIMAYA. This reshipment procedure could take a few business days, depending on the product availability.

In case of an item is lost or damaged during transport, the liability will be on the shipping company (Post Office). It may be possible to get insurance from the shipping company. For more information, please follow the steps in part Item Lost or Damaged During Shipment.
