That's frustrating...
Checked several Japanese online stores and all of them have the same issue: no international shipping with Japan Post since they suspended the service for USA. Only expensive services like Fedex and others.

Japan Post, in a shocking revelation, has decided that the future is *digital*—because apparently, regular addresses are just too 20th century for them. 🌐📬 So, now you can get lost in #cyberspace instead of on the streets! 🙃🔄

#JapanPost is debuting some sort of concept that ties your physical (home) address to a 7-character alphanumeric code (i.e.
ABC-12D6) - sorta like how DNS works on the internet, I suppose.
The idea is, for mailing purposes or even for online shopping platforms - instead of manually filling up your full address (which supposedly can be a lot more complicated in #Japan), you could instead give them this unique code.
You will need to sign up with Japan Post to get this Digital Address. I wonder about the security and logistical implications of this, in the long term - but the concept itself is pretty neat, honestly.
Even in Malaysia, it's not uncommon to easily find your exact address on one service/platform, but struggle to find/register the exact same address on a different app which might rely on a poorer map service - delegating this to a 'single source of truth' denoted only by a 7-char long code might make sense.
