What is Japan Souvenirs Finder?

Japan Souvenirs Finder is an AI-powered recommendation service that helps international travelers find authentic Japanese gifts and souvenirs. Our algorithm analyzes your preferences, budget, and travel constraints to recommend products from our extensive catalog of verified items on Rakuten Ichiba.

How does the AI recommendation work?

Our 3-stage progressive questionnaire collects your preferences (recipient age, gender, interests, style, occasion, budget). The AI then filters our extensive product catalog based on: 1) Souvenir score (portability, authenticity, packaging), 2) Travel mode (carry-on TSA compliance or shipping), 3) Personal preferences. Results are ranked by AI for optimal matches.

Are products TSA/IATA compliant for carry-on luggage?

Yes! Our 'Carry-on Mode' filters products to ensure TSA/IATA compliance: no liquids over 100ml, no sharp objects, lightweight and compact items. We also offer 'Ship Mode' for fragile items, liquids, or heavy gifts with international shipping recommendations.

What types of Japanese souvenirs can I find?

Our catalog includes: Traditional crafts (pottery, lacquerware, textiles), Gourmet food (matcha, wagashi, sake), Beauty products (skincare, cosmetics), Fashion (kimono, accessories), Home decor (tableware, interior), Anime & pop culture merchandise, Stationery & design items. All products are authentic Japanese-made items from verified sellers.

What are the price ranges available?

We offer products across all budgets: Under ¥1,000 (~$7), ¥1,000-3,000 ($7-20), ¥3,000-5,000 ($20-33), ¥5,000-10,000 ($33-67), ¥10,000-20,000 ($67-133), ¥20,000-50,000 ($133-333), and Over ¥50,000 ($333+). Most popular range is ¥1,000-5,000 for travel souvenirs.

How long does the recommendation process take?

The entire process takes approximately 30 seconds: Travel mode selection (5 sec), Stage 1 questions - 4 basic questions (10 sec), Stage 2 questions - 3 lifestyle questions (8 sec), Stage 3 questions - 4 detail questions (7 sec). AI processing is instant, delivering personalized results immediately.

Is the service free to use?

Yes, Japan Souvenirs Finder is 100% free. We earn commission through Rakuten affiliate links when you purchase recommended products, but this does not affect product prices or recommendation fairness. Our AI prioritizes quality and relevance, not commission rates.

Can I ship products internationally?

Many products support international shipping through Rakuten's global services. Select 'Ship Mode' during travel mode selection to see products available for international delivery. Shipping fees and customs duties vary by destination country and product category.

How do I know the products are authentic?

All products in our catalog are sourced from verified sellers on Rakuten Ichiba, Japan's largest e-commerce platform. Each product includes shop ratings, review counts, and authenticity indicators. Our quality engine filters products based on seller reputation (minimum 3.5 stars), review authenticity, and 'Made in Japan' verification.

What payment methods are accepted?

Payment is processed directly through Rakuten Ichiba when you click product links. Rakuten accepts major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express), PayPal, bank transfers, and various Japanese payment methods like convenience store payment and carrier billing. Payment options vary by seller.

Can I filter products by specific regions of Japan?

Yes! Our catalog includes regional specialties from all major Japanese regions: Hokkaido, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Okinawa, and more. Our AI automatically considers regional authenticity in recommendations. Products featuring regional crafts (e.g., Kyoto pottery, Okinawa glass) receive higher authenticity scores.

Are there any hidden fees?

No hidden fees from Japan Souvenirs Finder - our service is 100% free. However, Rakuten sellers may charge shipping fees, and international orders may incur customs duties/taxes depending on your country's import regulations. All fees are clearly displayed on Rakuten's checkout page before purchase.

What if I'm not satisfied with the AI recommendations?

You can easily start a new search with different preferences by clicking 'Start New Search'. Our 3-stage questionnaire allows you to refine your criteria (budget, style, categories) to get better-matched results. Each search takes only 30 seconds, so feel free to explore multiple preference combinations.

Do you offer customer support?

For questions about using Japan Souvenirs Finder, you can contact GenbaCompass customer service in English or Japanese. For product-specific inquiries (availability, shipping, returns), please contact the Rakuten seller directly through their product page. Each seller has their own customer service and return policies.

How often is your product catalog updated?

Our catalog is continuously updated through automated collection from Rakuten Ichiba. We run quality-filtered updates every 8 hours to ensure fresh inventory, accurate pricing, and current availability. Our AI scoring system re-evaluates products based on latest review counts, ratings, and seller performance.
