2. Can I buy 80/20 Japanese in bookstores?
No, sorry, 80/20 Japanese is currently only available via this website.
3. I live in Japan but don’t have a credit card – how can I purchase the book?
If you have a Japanese bank account, the easiest way to purchase 80/20 Japanese is to create a PayPal account. This can be linked to your Japanese bank account, which will allow you to shop online wherever PayPal is accepted (including 8020japanese.com) using funds from your bank account.
Another alternative is V-Preca, a prepaid debit card that can be topped up at Japanese convenience stores. There are a few steps involved in getting set up, but once completed, you will have access to a virtual credit card that can be used like a normal credit card for online purchases.
