A curated box of Japan, delivered to your door every two months.
Books, coffee, and a little piece of something you can't quite name.
START YOUR SUBSCRIPTION →
You can join The Japan Book Edit at any time. Each box has a join window — if you subscribe before the 15th of the second month of the current edition, your first box will be the current edition. If you join after the cutoff date, your first box will be the next edition.
Around one week before your next billing date, you will receive a reminder email letting you know that your subscription is about to renew. This gives you time to manage or cancel your subscription before you are charged.
Subscriptions renew automatically on the 1st of every second month. Your first box is charged immediately at the time of purchase. All renewals are charged at NZ$65 per box.

How much does it cost?
Your first box is NZ$50 — a special launch price. From your second box onwards, each box is NZ$65, charged automatically every 2 months. A shipping fee of NZ$10 applies to all orders.
When will my first box arrive?
Your first box ships within the first week of the current billing month. For example, if you join in May, your May & June Box will ship in the first week of May.
What's inside the box?
Each box contains one carefully selected Japanese book, a handcrafted booklet filled with Japanese words, stories and inspiration, and a small item connected to the world of that edition — sometimes something to taste, sometimes something to keep. Every box is a little piece of Japan, curated with care.
Do you announce the book in advance? What if I've already read it?
Yes — we announce the book for the next edition around the 15th of the previous month. For example, the July & August book will be announced around June 15th. If you've already read the upcoming book, you'll have the option to skip that edition. You'll receive a reminder email approximately one week before your billing date, giving you time to skip before you're charged.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time after your first order. We recommend cancelling before the reminder email date to avoid being charged for the next box. There are no lock-in contracts and no cancellation fees.
How do I cancel or manage my subscription?
You can manage your subscription through the account portal on our website, or by contacting us at hello@thejapanbookedit.com.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver across New Zealand.
What if I miss the cutoff date?
No problem — your subscription will simply start from the next edition. You will still receive your first box at the special price of NZ$50.
Do you ship internationally?
At this stage, we only deliver within New Zealand. We hope to expand in the future.
I have another question.
We'd love to hear from you! Contact us at hello@thejapanbookedit.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
