Have you ever been inside of a Japanese pharmacy or drugstore before? In this video, I do some shopping at CREATE Pharmacy (クリエイト薬局). This chain drugstore is found around the Kanto region and other areas of Honshu island, the main island of Japan. It is a popular go-to store, not just for prescription and over-the-counter medication, but also for cosmetics, daily essentials, and groceries. They also offer counseling for general health concerns and baby nutrition.
There are two of these pharmacies within walking distance of my house, so this is usually where I buy my personal hygiene products. It’s very similar to CVS, Rite Aid, or Walgreens drugstores if you’re familiar with those in the U.S.
If you want more information about CREATE Pharmacy, you can check out their website: https://www.create-sd.co.jp/ (Japanese only).

Interesting store but the prices were kind of high.The range of products Create carries is so much greater than at CVS! Is Matsukiyo still a discount pharmacy? I found that place dangerous!
I could do all my shopping at Create since they have such an extensive selection of groceries. About the only thing they seem to lack is produce. What are your favorite things to shop for there?
Costco isn't any different in Japan except for the brands they carry from what I have seen. I wonder if IKEA is different in Japan.
Love this video!! You showed a great variety of products and your voice was really nice and calming. Can i request if you can do a skincare products tour in the drugstore? Of cos being a guy, you may not use the products but i wanted to try my luck in asking! Thanks so much for the great video 🙂
Another great store tour video! (I love your tour videos and the tips/pointers you give throughout).
You give those of us who have never been to or cannot go to Japan a nice glimpse into life there.
Also team dark chocolate, love both coffee and tea, and the Shin noodles too!
Thanks for the video!😊
Great video!thank u for bringing us on a little tour. Makes me japan soooo much.
Good vid, but I was expecting a part for prescription medicines overview, like you did for the over the counter once…
Excellent arrangement during this pandemic condition 👍👍
Hey, not sure if you'll ever get round to answering this, but my boyfriend and I want to spend an extended period of time in Japan and that would mean I'd probably 😂 need to wash some clothing, unfortunately I have a bunch of allergies so are there any detergents that are free of fragrance, perfumes and essential oils? Because there's only a couple different brands of fragrance free detergents here in the UK even.
For Claritin, $20 for how many pills?
I wanna be a pharmacy in the future.❤️( My English may be wrong)
Thank you for excellent view. But I am amazed by the prices. Everything more then half as what we pay in Dublin Ireland. Your wages must be sky high.
I drink both tea and coffee too and love Romy
i buy daily medicine in Japan pharmacy overall price is 16900 jpy a little expensive in Japan but their quality and effect are very good in Japan that is a biggest drugstore in the world
10 months ago, but since you asked. I'm an avid tea drinker. As in I'm in the states and order tea from China and Japan. So yes a bit of a tea nerd. Love the rice and tea broth recipe. Delicious.
Thwy have lactouse free tablets the 24hr ones brother its on a list i mentioned in my last post 🙂👍❤
Do you live in Japan by yourself and in some of your videos you made it sound like you've been there before or you are Japanese
I love all your shopping videos especially! I adored Japanese grocery stores and Y100 stores and places like that. I could spend all day in them (and did sometimes, if I was alone. My husband was not so fond lol He liked the electronics places which I found boring). Could you do a trip to a Nitori? I would love that. Keep up the good work! Makes me want to go back to Japan.
Bro one I have doubt
Japan good for pharmacy students
Almost £6 for a tiny deodorant. Wow. Amazon ?
Original 👍
Oringina xx
I love dark chocolate and strong coffee. Then I'm good
I can really see that Japan has a huge variety of products especially sanitary napkins. I'm shocked!
Comin back to this one, I hope you're doin alright dude. I appreciate the shit out of your content. Helps me escape the midwest every once in a while.
Can You Help Me Check Carbs Vitamins How Much Japanese Yen
Where can I buy a nail cutter set ?
Hi! Thank you for these videos! I am preparing myself to move to Japan from Italy in a month! 😀 I was wondering:1. How much does the liquid for contact lenses cost? 2. How do you pay for “loose” fruits and vegs? Like is there a sticker to apply or you just grab one apple and put it on the cash register? Thank you in advance 🙂
Very nice tour. It's good to know they have most of the same products you would find in a pharmacy here in the US. Do they have nasal spray? I only ask because it is something I use regularly for my allergies.
Loved this. I suspect my souvenir haul is going to be huge!
