Marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine. And then you get to stay for free in jail. Now to the more real. You will have to find your customers. Are you going to stand out on the street and sell your goods? Do you have sufficient Japanese language skills to pull that off? How are you going to sell this stuff? Japanese people aren't members of a third-world country that are going to come running up to you to buy stuff. As a general rule, anything you can bring over, they already have the option of buying. Yeah, they may have to pay a higher price than you can buy those items for, but you have to make a profit too. So there goes the markup difference. Now, why should they buy these items from you, even considering that you can find the customers. If you want to make some money, take hard to find goods to a third-world country and make a little, and I mean 'a little' cash. There aren't any people that I know of that get rich with such a scheme. It's totally unrealistic. Oh, and 'large amount'? Have you noticed the weight limitations for most airlines these days? Okay, so it goes back to my joke. You want to make a lot of money? Bring in drugs. No, change that, TRY to bring in drugs. Of course you will STILL have the distribution problem. And I'm sorry, but there is no niche market where you are going to make any money that your post seems to imply that you are searching for. Once again, finding the customers. NOTE to John Davidson..... and exactly HOW is he going to find his customers? Does he have their sizes? Okay, try Yahoo! Auction. Can the questioner write Japanese? Answer the inquiries he receives? Handle the shipping details? Ain't no PayPal, so how about receiving the money. Be real here. Just take a deep breath and say, "Do WHAT?"

We are in globalized economy. Any one can get anything from other countries easily. There is nothing which is "not common and can be sold at good prices in Japan" But there could be any niche market if you search for drug or cosmetic industry. Good luck.

Anything you can think of to sell in Japan, someone else is already selling in Japan. If they aren't, it's probably available on Ebay with cheap shipping to anyone in Japan who wants it. There is no "easy" way to make money in Japan, just like there is no easy way to make money in the US. If you want to start a business in Japan, think of a good idea and put in a lot of work and you can do it! Good luck.

There's nothing much really that cannot be purchased in Japan or on the internet. Also you will run into a lot of problems with Customs if you are importing a large amount. Plus you have to pay a lot of taxes if you are caught.

Abercrombie & Finch is extremely popular right now in Japan and they have just opened their first store in Tokyo. The prices are really expensive in Japan and I always used to order my clothes from A & F in the US and have them sent as it worked out cheaper. You would make a killing by selling these clothes at a lower price in Japan.

It Is Illegal for you to engage in Activities that make money in Japan if you are on Visitor Status or do not have a work visa. If you bring a large amount of items you can be questioned by customs and denied entry into Japan.
