Planning to ride a motorcycle in Japan, or just want a Japanese helmet or riding gear you can’t get at home? 2RINKAN is Japan’s largest chain of motorcycle gear and parts stores — more than 60 stores from Hokkaido to Kyushu, run by the group behind the Driver’s Stand auto-supply chain since 1978. Helmets, jackets, gloves, boots, tires, oil, exhausts and custom parts are all under one roof, and overseas visitors can shop tax-free.

Important
- Tax-free shopping is for non-residents only (visitors staying in Japan less than six months). Show your passport and spend ¥5,000 or more (before tax) on general goods in a single transaction at one store. Purchases at different stores cannot be combined.
- Items used or consumed in Japan are not eligible for tax exemption. For returns or exchanges, you will need your passport and receipt.
- From November 1, 2026, Japan switches to a tax-refund system: you pay the tax-inclusive price in store and claim the refund before departure. The 5% coupon discount is still applied at the register.
- Coupon conditions, eligible products and tax-free rules may change — please check with store staff. See 2RINKAN’s official tax-free shopping guide (English available) for details.
Why Shop at 2RINKAN?
1. Everything for the rider, in one store. Helmets, riding jackets and pants, gloves, boots, tires, engine oil and maintenance supplies, electronics, exhausts and custom parts — 2RINKAN carries it all, so you can compare brands, styles and prices in person instead of running between shops.
2. Try on SHOEI and Arai where they come from. Japanese helmet brands like SHOEI, Arai and OGK Kabuto are the stars of the helmet wall, alongside RS TAICHI, KOMINE, Alpinestars, HJC, DUNLOP, BRIDGESTONE, MICHELIN, PIRELLI, YOSHIMURA, BREMBO and DAYTONA. Trying on a helmet in person — shell shape, size, fit — beats choosing from a screen. If you have a specific model in mind, check stock with the store before you go.
3. Part of Japan’s riding culture. Weekend touring — mountain passes, coastal roads, cross-prefecture trips — is a big part of motorcycle life in Japan, and 2RINKAN is where riders gear up. Depending on the store, you’ll also find pit services such as tire changes, maintenance and inspections, plus rider events like the 2RINKAN Festival and 2RINKAN Cafe. Even if you’re not buying, it’s worth a look at what Japanese riders are wearing right now.
Travel tip: if large parts are hard to carry home, start with helmets, gloves, riding apparel and small accessories — and check your airline’s baggage rules and your home country’s import rules before you buy.
