7 things Dozo does differently

A quick, honest look at how Dozo compares to the apps and groups foreign residents use today.

1

We speak your language

Mercari

Japanese-first experience. Limited multilingual support.

Mendokusai
VS
Dozo Marketplace

Built with multilingual users in mind — Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog & more.

Sugoi
Because your value isn't determined by your ability to read kanji.
2

Speed

FB groups

Slow replies. Posts get buried. Disputes can drag on.

Mendokusai
VS
Dozo Marketplace

List in seconds. Tap, post, sell. Support built for faster resolution.

Find what you need faster — without chasing old posts.
3

Freebies & Swaps

Other apps

Most apps are buy-or-sell only.

Mendokusai
VS
Dozo Marketplace

Freebies and swaps are built in — never treated like afterthoughts.

Because some things are worth more shared than sold.
4

Organized UX

Other apps

Cluttered feeds. Endless scrolling to find anything.

Mendokusai
VS
Dozo Marketplace

Clean categories and smart search keep everything in its place.

Sugoi
Less scrolling. More finding.
5

Other apps

No built-in car-share. Rentals often come with extra paperwork.

Mendokusai

Skip ownership costs. Just drive.
6

Verified users

FB groups

Little to no verification. Anyone can join.

FAQ

Questions? Answered.

Yes — downloading Dozo and creating an account is completely free. You can browse, list items, and join the community at no cost. Standard payment fees only apply when you complete a transaction.

Not at all. Dozo is built for foreign residents, with built-in instant translation in chat and support for multiple languages — so you can communicate with anyone, in your own language.

During sign-up you'll confirm your identity through a quick, secure verification step. This keeps the whole community trusted and means every member you interact with is a verified, real person.

Dozo works right across Japan. Marketplace listings and doorstep delivery are available nationwide, while Car Share availability depends on verified owners in your area — and it's growing fast.

Drive a car when you need one, or list your own and earn while it's parked. Every driver and owner is verified, so sharing is simple, flexible and secure — no ownership hassle required.

All payment options are processed through Stripe with 3D Secure authentication and full encryption. You can pay by card, konbini, bank transfer, PayPay, Apple Pay or Google Pay — whichever suits you.

Your Japan starts here.

One app. Endless possibilities.
