Living in Japan as an expat is incredible — but it can also be insanely expensive. Kitchen gadgets, home decor, phone accessories, clothes, beauty products… it adds up fast. Then I discovered Temu Japan. Genuinely, it changed how I shop. That ¥4,000 kitchen gadget? On Temu it’s ¥800. The ¥3,000 charging cable? ¥300. The ¥6,000 gym bag? ¥1,200.
What Is Temu — And Why Are Expats in Japan Obsessed?
Temu launched in Japan in July 2023 and has exploded in popularity. It’s an online mega-marketplace that connects you directly with manufacturers — cutting out middlemen and passing the savings to you. Think Amazon, but with prices that feel almost impossible.
