# How many Shopify stores are in Japan?

20,445 stores. 198 flagged dropship (1.0%). Median modeled revenue is $6,277 — three orders of magnitude above the US median. Average visits are 7,113. Search demand for ドロップシッピング is 4,000/mo. The catalog does not match that curiosity: Japan’s Shopify scene in this index is brands, character goods, and coffee, not a one-product pile.

## Daiso, Chiikawa, BAPE

daisonet.com is the visit head (14.5M). mix.tokyo and cocacoca.jp are clothing. chiikawamarket.jp is character goods. bape.com is tagged “kids” in this snapshot — treat it as the brand. Zero of these five are dropship flags. Average modeled revenue on active Japanese clothing is $224k. That is a different planet from US clothing ($23k) in the same pull method.

## Coffee is on the board

154 active coffee shops. That vertical does not make the top ten in the US, UK, or DE cuts we pulled the same day. Jewelry (178) and skincare (166) are present. Apparel dropship count in this grouped row is 3.

| Active Japanese stores by vertical (≥500 visits/mo) | stores |
| --- | --- |
| Clothing | 374 |
| Apparel | 329 |
| Consumer Electronics | 252 |
| Home Decor | 233 |
| Clothing + Accessories | 181 |
| Jewelry | 178 |
| Skincare | 166 |
| Coffee | 154 |

_GET /v1/stores?countryCode=JP&groupBy=vertical&minVisits=500. Unclassified (731) omitted from the chart — Japan has a higher untagged share._

## “shopify” is 62k in Japan. Dropship is curiosity, not inventory

Ahrefs JP: bare “shopify” is 62,000/mo (KD 7). “ドロップシッピング” is 4,000/mo (KD 1). “shopify 日本” is 250. “ネットショップ 一覧” (online shop list) is 200. The catalog says 1% dropship. The search box says people still ask. We show both.

| Keyword | Volume | KD | CPC USD |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| shopify | 62000 | 7 | 1.5 |
| ドロップシッピング | 4000 | 1 | 0.35 |
| shopify 日本 | 250 | 3 | 1.3 |
| ネットショップ 一覧 | 200 | 1 | 0.45 |

## How the numbers were calculated

- Country totals: `get_countries` / `GET /v1/analytics/countries`. Dropship % = `round(1000 × dropshippers / stores) / 10`.
- Vertical bars: `GET /v1/stores?countryCode=JP&groupBy=vertical&minVisits=500`. Floor drops parked shops. `(unclassified)` omitted. `storeCount` is shops that clear the floor, not the unfiltered country total.
- Mean vs median modeled revenue: catalog fields on the unfiltered country row.
- Keyword tables: Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, country-local Google volume (12-month average), KD 0–100, CPC in USD (API cents ÷ 100). Pulled 2026-09-04. We do not invent volumes.
