[Shipping Restrictions to the United States (Updated September 7th)]

Due to major changes to the U.S. government's tariff system, Japan Post has announced that it will temporarily suspend acceptance of mail (including EMS, parcels, and other consumer goods) bound for the United States starting August 27, 2025.
For orders to the United States, we will be using a shipping method other than EMS for the time being. Please be aware that this will result in changes to shipping fees and restrictions on shipping size (such as the suspension of shipping large musical instruments to the United States).

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our customers, and we appreciate your understanding regarding the difficulties in managing customs duties and clearance procedures.
