Finding moments of peace and serenity isn’t easy—especially for someone living in the bustling metropolitan city of Tokyo. Chillaxy, a Japanese CBD brand, is here to make your days go a little smoother. Since its launch in 2020, Chillaxy has provided open-minded customers with quality cannabidiol (CBD) supplements legal in Japan based on its simple dedication to—you guessed it—chilling and relaxing.
Chillaxy offers broad-spectrum CBD, or cannabis plant compounds free of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), to boost the “entourage effect”—various compounds in cannabis working together for beneficial effects. Whether you’re a seasoned user, casual enthusiast or just a newbie to the world of CBD, Chillaxy has something for everyone: from vapes and oils to infused coffee.

A Method to Unwind

Research shows CBD has been linked to numerous health benefits, from anxiety and pain relief to healthy sleep. Some people find that CBD can provide immediate respite from stressful situations. So it’s no wonder that Chillaxy is making waves among cannabidiol enthusiasts. Its logo features a sleepy owl with soft pink and navy blue tones to encapsulate the essence of the calming atmosphere of dusk—a reminder to unwind after a long day.
The CBD market has snowballed in Japan, arguably already oversaturated with hundreds of brands. But Chillaxy distinguishes itself by operating physical stores (even vending machines), in-house development and high-quality products. Chillaxy directly manages everything from importation to after-sales support and chat services.
While edibles and skin care products are available, Chillaxy specializes in vapes. They opt for natural ingredients from the United States to provide a realistic experience beyond just CBD. Rather than relying on artificial flavors, Chillaxy uses plant terpenes, the compounds in plants responsible for fragrance, taste and pigment. This choice ensures a diverse range of unique flavors, so whether you prefer the classic grassy scents or the fruity strains, there is something to suit every palate.
Try Before You Buy

Chillaxy’s independent stores are a testament to customer experience in an industry rapidly becoming big business. Due to Japan’s strict laws and social stigma, few brands will try opening their own shops. Chillaxy’s brick-and-mortar shops add an extra layer of trust and security. Certificates of ingredients are even posted on its online shop for full transparency.
Moreover, customers can try CBD products for free (excluding edibles), so visiting one of their stores is an opportunity to see whether CBD is right for you. Foreigners coming to Japan from countries with more lax laws and regulations on cannabis might particularly enjoy the Chillaxy CBD Shop ＆ Cafe in Yokohama for its CBD-infused cold brews and American-pressed coffee.
If you can’t journey to a Chillaxy store, Chillaxy products are available in CBD brand shops around Japan and online.
