Monthly subscription boxes are becoming increasingly popular these days, and if you haven’t found them already, there are a number of boxes filled with all things Japanese that you can have delivered right to your doorstep!

The boxes basically work like magazine subscriptions, except you receive a box of goods instead of something to leaf through. All you need to do is pay a certain fee depending on your desired subscription plan, and excitedly wait for your monthly gifts to arrive!

But there are so many different kinds of boxes, it’s not easy to decide which one to subscribe to. So we’ve put together a list of 5 monthly subscription boxes of Japanese items to make deciding a little bit easier.

Japan Crate

Japan Crate has two types of boxes you can choose from — the standard crate including Japanese snacks, or the Doki Doki Crate which sends you a monthly supply of everything kawaii.

Standard Crate: Comes in Mini (4-6 items), Original (8-10 items), and Premium (12-14). Prices start at 12 USD/month, depending on the selected subscription plan. The Original and Premium plans both include DIY snack kits, while the Premium box includes a special drink.

Doki Doki Crate: 30 USD/month. One box comes with 8-10 items of anything kawaii, from adorable plushies to collectible keychains, figures, apparel, miniatures and more.
