One of the questions I get asked the most is: “Where do you actually buy your stuff?” so I figured I’d better write a blog about the best legal altnoid shops in Japan (in my opinion, at least).
I’m mostly an online shopper since rural life in Japan doesn’t exactly offer a corner dispensary. And after plenty of trial and error, I’ve narrowed down my favorite altnoid shops in Japan that keep me stocked, soothed, and straight-up stoned.
These aren’t the only vendors out there, but they’re the ones I’ve personally ordered from recently and will happily order from again. I’m also looking forward to trying new vendors and adding to this list!
Knockout
The name says it all.
Knockout is the vendor that may have gotten into some trouble last year, but emerged stronger and more reliable than ever. They’ve had legal hiccups in the past, but the fact that they came out free and clear honestly boosts my trust in them.
Here’s why I keep going back: they’re constantly innovating, releasing new products that somehow keep leveling up in strength. The quality is consistent and top-notch, with a clear focus on premium ingredients and pure effects. The downside? The price. Knockout is one of the most expensive shops in the game, but in my opinion, the quality justifies the splurge.
My faves: CRDP Knockout Gummies and the KO Candy vape (and can’t wait to try Volcano!).
Kush JP
Kush JP is my steady, reliable pick for non-psychoactive blends, CBN in particular.
I know I’ve said I don’t really bother with DGN, but when I do, it’s CBN to help me relax and sleep. And I get it from Kush JP because they have chill and tasty blends that are perfect for maintenance or winding down. Their quality is impeccable, and their terpenes are so spot-on you’ll swear you’re hitting the real deal.
They’ve got a wide selection too: cartridges, disposable pods, wax, tools, and the occasional psychoactive blend like their D9 Skyhigh cart with 45% CRDP. I’ve heard nothing but good things about that one, but honestly? I’m here for their CBN.
My fave: Couch Lock: the ultimate chill.
Gohoya
Budget babes, this one’s for you.
Gohoya is my affordable pick for CPX and CRDP. The products are straightforward: strong, inexpensive, and effective. There isn’t much transparency about their process, but if you’re looking for something that hits without wrecking your bank account, this is it.
The best part? You can order their website or on Amazon. No sketchy bank transfers, no hoops to jump through. Just click, buy, receive, puff.
My fave: CPX x H4CBH Liquid (Mango Kush)
Final Thoughts
There are tons of altnoid vendors in Japan, but these are the ones that have earned a spot in my rotation. From splurge-worthy luxury (Knockout) to budget-friendly Amazon finds (Gohoya), each one has its niche.
If you’re new to the scene, start with Kush JP or Delta Farms for quality and transparency. If you’re a seasoned vet, Knockout, Delta Farms, and Holy Hemp might be more your speed. And if your wallet is crying? Gohoya’s got you.
Either way, you’ve got options and that’s what makes Japan’s altnoid scene so much fun to follow.
