Why TCGNakama
Buy Japanese TCG Cards
Direct from Japan
TCGNakama is a Japan-based marketplace for authentic Pokémon, One Piece, and Magic: The Gathering cards. We ship direct from Japan to 27+ countries with secure standard international and domestic delivery options.
Is It Cheaper to Buy from Japan?
Japanese Pokémon cards purchased directly from Japan through TCGNakama are typically 20–40% less expensive than the same cards resold on eBay, TCGPlayer, or Troll and Toad.
This is because TCGNakama sources cards locally in Japan at JPY market prices, avoiding the markups added by international resellers. Our prices are benchmarked in real-time against combined global and local Japan market data.
