What is CyStore?
CyStore is the official merchandise shop of CyGames, the mobile game developers behind such megahits as Granblue Fantasy, Dragalia Lost, Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, Uma Musume Pretty Derby, and Shadowverse. With a huge range of high-quality merch from fan-favorite titles, CyStore is truly a shopping paradise for mobile gamers!
Unfortunately, the CyStore online shop does not ship outside of Japan or accept non-Japanese payment methods. CyStore’s site is also rather difficult to navigate if you can’t read Japanese. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up on your mobage merch dreams! Read on to see how easy it is to buy from CyStore with FROM JAPAN.
How to buy from CyStore using FROM JAPAN
As CyStore does not ship overseas, you’re going to need a little help from a proxy shopping service, like FROM JAPAN. But don’t worry – just follow the steps below and you’ll see that with FROM JAPAN, shopping from CyStore is easy as pie.
Step 1. Go to CyStore’s official homepage.
Once you’ve accessed CyStore’s home page, you’ll be greeted by a plethora of gaming goodies. You may also notice that you cannot select your preferred language on Cystore. If you are not confident in your Japanese skills, running the site through Google Translate will be enough to start navigating. But for more specific queries, we recommend contacting FROM JAPAN’s multilingual Customer Service team who can help with any Japanese language troubles you may have.
Step 2. Get searching!
There are several ways you can get searching for merch on CyStore. For those who know the Japanese product name or game title, you can search for it using the handy search bar on the right-hand side.
If you want to see merch from your favorite games, you can search by title by using the drop-down menu on the left, as seen below:

Make sure to fill in everything about your preferred size, color, and design, as we need this information in order to proceed with the order.
Please make sure to double check all the details before sending your order to us. Once we’ve received your price quote request, our Shopping Staff will send an invoice for the cost of the item. If you are planning to buy multiple items from CyStore, then you will need to make a separate price quote request for each unique item.
After all your invoices have arrived for your items and Charge 1 has been paid, your items will be shipped to our distribution center. Once we receive the items, we will wait for your instructions regarding shipment. After you’ve notified us about your shipment instructions, we will send Charge 2, which includes the international and domestic shipping fees, as well as the fee for our Product Protection Plan. For domestic shipping, CyStore charges a flat rate of 650 yen for all orders.
