If you’re looking for a Kyokushin rod (229.5cm / ~7.5ft) fly fishing rod shipped from Japan, here are some steps to help you find and purchase one:
1. Check Japanese Retailers & Marketplaces
– Amazon Japan ([amazon.co.jp](https://www.amazon.co.jp)) – Search for “極真 フライロッド 229.5cm” or “Kyokushin fly rod 229.5cm”.
– Rakuten Japan ([rakuten.co.jp](https://www.rakuten.co.jp)) – Many Japanese fishing shops sell here.
– Japanese Fishing Specialty Stores (e.g., Fishing Pro Shop Tsuruya, Bass Pro Japan).
2. Use a Proxy/Forwarding Service
Since some Japanese stores don’t ship internationally, you may need a proxy service like:
– Buyee ([buyee.jp](https://buyee.jp))
– ZenMarket ([zenmarket.jp](https://zenmarket.jp))
– FromJapan ([fromjapan.co.jp](https://www.fromjapan.co.jp))
3. Check eBay or Global Marketplaces
– Search “Kyokushin fly rod 229.5cm Japan” on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Mercari Japan (via proxy).
4. Contact Japanese Sellers Directly
– Some small shops may ship internationally if you email them (use Google Translate if needed).
5. Shipping Considerations
– EMS (Japan Post) is reliable but can be expensive for long rods.
– DHL/FedEx may be faster but check rod tube dimensions.
