Living in the bustling metropolitan city of Tokyo can be an exhilarating experience, but finding moments of peace and serenity can be a challenge. It’s evident that there is a drinking culture in Japan but what about weed culture? Possession of anything containing THC, the psychoactive element in marijuana, is illegal in Japan and punishable by a minimum sentence of five years in prison. However, what not many people realize is that there are many excellent THC alternatives in Japan if you know where to look. In this article, we provide information about Chillaxy, a chain CBD dispensary in Tokyo and Kanagawa, that is sure to make your trip to Japan even better if you are visiting, and will have you wondering how you didn’t know about it if you already live there.
The effects of CBD and other cannabinoids are finally trending in Japan. That’s where Chillaxy, the premier Japanese CBD brand, steps in to make your days a little smoother and more enjoyable. Since its launch in 2020, Chillaxy has been dedicated to providing open-minded customers with high-quality cannabidiol (CBD) and psychoactive cannabinoid products that are legal in Japan, all with one simple mission in mind – chilling and relaxing.
The Shinjuku Store and Urban Chill:
The Shinjuku store is located right in the heart of the city, just a two-minute walk from the South Exit of Shinjuku Station. Despite being in one of the busiest areas in Tokyo, the atmosphere inside the store is calm and relaxed, naturally separating you from the noise outside. Its easy accessibility makes it a perfect spot to stop by between shopping, work, or nighttime plans.
What stood out to me when visiting was how welcoming the space felt. The staff keep a comfortable, approachable distance, making it easy to ask questions without feeling intimidated. Even if you’re not very familiar with CBD or cannabinoids, simply sharing your mood or what kind of experience you’re looking for is enough for them to guide you toward the right product.
Because of its location in Shinjuku, the store attracts many international visitors, and English support is available naturally and smoothly. Being able to communicate without worrying about language barriers adds a strong sense of comfort and ease, something that really stands out for a shop in a major global city.
In the fast-paced flow of the city, this is a place where you can slow down—just a little.
The Shinjuku store offers a genuine Urban Chill experience.
