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.
Chillaxy takes pride in offering a broad-spectrum of cannabinoid products, which are cannabis plant compounds that are completely free of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is illegal in Japan. By harnessing the power of the “entourage effect,” Chillaxy’s products leverage various compounds in cannabis that work together synergistically to provide beneficial effects. Whether you’re a stoner, a casual enthusiast, or someone new to the world of CBD and cannabinoids, Chillaxy has something to offer everyone.
The Harajuku Store and Chillaxy vending machines:
Wherever you are staying in Japan, you can use 4 train lines to Chillaxy’s Harajuku store. The closest station is Harajuku station (3 min), but you can easily walk from Meiji-jingumae station as well (4 min). For the more scenic route, although it is slightly farther, you can walk there from Omotesando station (13 min).
It is recommended to go to the JR Harajuku Station to then walk down the famous “Takeshita Street” before and/or after your visit. This location is ideal so you even can get a crepe for your munchies. If you want to avoid the crowd but you want to visit the Harajuku location, it might be a good idea to go from Meiji-jingumae station and go through less crowded back streets.
The Harajuku store like all of the Chillaxy stores has a service where you can try out their different vape flavors. There’s six original vape flavors, but they often have new limited-edition flavors that have a higher percentage of recreational cannabinoids in it compared to the standard flavors. These 510 carts last a while depending on your usage, so it’s great that you get to know what the flavor you’re committing to will taste like.

The Asakusa Store and Chillaxy joints:
The Asakusa store is almost like a secret hideout for stoners. It’s tucked away on the 4th floor with a very chill vibe that lets you take your time to choose whatever you’d like. It is very close to Asakusa station which is great, and it’s hard to miss since they have a big 420 sign out in front.
Chillaxy has started selling joints as of late. Although all of their products are legal, in Japan, it’s hard to shake the feeling that smoking a joint out in public could get you in some trouble. The balcony smoking area in the Asakusa store definitely takes that stress away so you can relax on the bench in the balcony area and pass around their joints peacefully.
According to the Chillaxy staff, the Chillaxy joints imitate weed really well by using mixed herbs then infuse them with cannabinoids. Chillaxy uses new, cutting-edge cannabinoids (derived from Hemp) that carry psychoactive effects and euphoric feelings associated with the typical properties associated with cannabis use.
