Essential Info for UK Buyers:
Buying from Amazon Japan is currently the most reliable way for UK residents to access Japanese regional pricing, as the Japanese eShop itself stopped accepting UK credit cards in March 2025.
Step 1: Amazon JP Account Setup
New Account Required: Your Amazon.co.uk login will not work. You must create a new account at amazon.co.jp.
Billing Address: You must add a Japanese billing address to your account to unlock digital purchases. Users typically use a placeholder, such as a hotel address:
Example: 3-7-1-2 Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 163-1055.
Payment: Use a fee-free card and choose to pay in JPY. Avoid Amazons currency converter, as their exchange rate is poor.
Step 2: Redemption & Playing
Region Lock: The 16-digit code provided is region-locked to the Japanese eShop.
The Best Method: Create a second Japan user profile on your Switch 2 linked to a Japanese Nintendo account. Enter the code in the eShop using that profile.
Playing on UK Profile: Once the game is downloaded, you can launch and play it using your primary UK profile. All progress and trophies will be saved to your UK account as normal.
