Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I buy authentic Omamori online from Japan?

Yes! Omamori From Japan makes genuine Japanese omamori accessible online, no matter where you live. We ensure each omamori is respectfully sourced directly from official Japanese shrines—either through in-person visits or their official online channels. This guarantees authenticity and careful delivery to you.

Are your Omamori authentic?

All Omamori sold on our site are 100% genuine and sourced from recognized shrines in Japan, such as Meiji Jingu in Tokyo, Izusan Shrine in Shizuoka, and Chiba Enmusubi Taisha. We do not sell imitations or mass-produced charms. Each omamori is individually obtained by our team for your order, just as if you were in Japan yourself.

Can I choose the shrine or omamori design?

Yes. Each product page clearly states the shrine of origin and available designs or colors. Our selection includes popular, seasonal, and limited-edition omamori from shrines such as Meiji Jingu, Izusan Shrine, and Chiba Enmusubi Taisha. If you are seeking a specific shrine or custom request, please contact us.

Do you ship omamori internationally?

Yes! We offer international shipping from Japan to a select list of countries. All orders include tracking for peace of mind. For orders of 2 items or more, we provide free standard tracked shipping. You will receive a tracking number by email when your order ships. For full details and eligible destinations, please see our Shipping Policy or contact us if your country is not listed at checkout.

How long does shipping take from Japan?

Standard international shipping typically takes 10–20 business days depending on your destination. EMS express shipping delivers in 5–9 business days. Actual delivery time may vary due to customs and local postal services.

How are omamori packaged for shipping?

Every omamori is carefully packaged in a protective envelope or box, with respect for its cultural significance. We ensure your omamori arrives safely and and in excellent condition.

Are returns or exchanges accepted?

Due to the traditional and cultural nature of Japanese omamori, we cannot accept returns or exchanges. However, if your item arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us within 7 days and we will resolve the issue promptly.

Do omamori require activation or special handling?

No activation is necessary. Do not open your omamori, as this may release its traditional association. Simply keep it with you—in your bag, wallet, home, or car—to receive its traditional benefit.

How do I know my omamori is real?

We guarantee the authenticity of every omamori we sell. Each is sourced directly from a recognized shrine in Japan through either personal visits or the shrine’s official online store. If you have any questions about sourcing, we are happy to provide details upon request.

Can I buy omamori as a gift?

Yes! Omamori make unique and meaningful Japanese gifts for friends and family. You can have your order shipped directly to the recipient’s address in any eligible country. Please note that we are unable to include custom gift messages or special requests at this time.
