KEN AUTO Japan Buyer Support
Your Trusted Partner in Experiencing Real Japan — One Part at a Time
About This Service
If you live outside Japan and want to buy something from Yahoo! Auctions Japan, Rakuten, Amazon Japan, Up Garage, or other Japanese sites — KEN AUTO JAPAN can help.
Most sellers don’t ship abroad or accept foreign payments. I, Ken Obara, act as your personal Japanese agent — handling all communication, payments, inspections, and international shipping until your item arrives safely.
Our Strengths
As a professional Japanese tuner, I understand the true value of Made in Japan products — not just their price, but their craftsmanship, history, and performance spirit.
- Real Japanese Expertise – I know the difference between genuine, high-quality parts and replicas. Every item is carefully checked and confirmed for authenticity before shipping.
- Car Enthusiast’s Eye – As a Miata specialist and racer, I evaluate every product from a tuner’s perspective. I understand how each part performs, fits, and feels in real driving conditions.
- Trusted Communication – Many sellers in Japan don’t speak English. I handle all communication with them directly in Japanese and provide clear updates in English, ensuring nothing is misunderstood.
- One-Stop Service – From bidding and payment to inspection and international shipping — I personally manage every step so you can buy from Japan with total confidence.
- Global Passion, Japanese Heart – Whether you are in the U.S., Europe, or anywhere in the world, you can experience the precision and quality that define Japan’s automotive culture.
