    I've never bought games from Amazon Japan, but when I buy from Amazon UK my US card works fine.

    Some sellers will ship overseas, just check the shipping info in the discription. IIRC you can sign in with your normal Amazon account and pay normally.

    Edit: Oh GAMES, I should learn to read. I've bought other stuff from Amazon JP without a problem, but I've never tried to buy games.

    Amazon US will ship games internationally. They have no issues at all in doing that. I buy many games
    from Amazon US and have them sent to Japan all using a Japanese Master Card. I'm notvtalking about Amazon marketplace sellers either but actual Amazon themselves. It's funny that Amazon Japan have a different rule but that's like a lot of things here. They keep thing in house so to speak.

    Maybe because some Japanese publishers are really, REALLY​ against exporting their games. Like whoever made that creepy rape simulator.
