Why Fukuoka

Map of Ann Pain's Fukuoka sourcing area

Ann Pain is based in Fukuoka, Japan - one of the best cities in the country for finding official character goods, trading cards, pre-owned collectibles, and pre-owned luxury brand items in person.

Because we're local, we can visit these shops ourselves, check the condition of an item before we buy it, and ship it to you anywhere in the world with tracking.
