Japanese vocabulary reference: Weight

How can those who don't understand Japanese find their favorite products?

Unsure about the product's weight leads to not knowing how to choose cost-effective logistics. Hurry up and take a look at these Doorzo shopping tips~


Here is a summary of common Japanese words for different product categories and their approximate weights. Feel free to copy and search.


Tip 1: Due to multiple names for the same product (for example, some sellers may also write plush toy as ぬいぐるみ), the Japanese words listed below are common terms. Please note that individual sellers may use other terms.


Tip 2: Product weight includes packaging. The final weight may differ depending on the packaging materials the seller uses (bubble wrap, newspaper, plastic foam) or the product's material (such as clothing fabric, which varies in weight). The weights provided below are for reference only.

Add-ons: Common Terms Used by Mercari Sellers

Since Mercari usually sells second-hand goods, Japanese sellers usually specify the condition of the goods and shipping methods in the product description. For Mercari enthusiasts, I have also compiled some common terms Mercari sellers use for your reference. Even if you can't understand all of the Japanese text, as long as you understand the keywords, you can greatly enhance your shopping experience. These terms are usually found in the product description:
