Part-Time help wanted (Japanese & English required)

Hi there!

We’re Ichiba Japan, an ecommerce business connecting Japan’s unique anime culture with customers worldwide. Our cozy office is based in Uchihiranomachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, and we’re looking for a part-time team member to join us on this exciting journey.

Let’s get into the details:

🕒 Work Hours

9:30 AM to 1:30 PM, for 3, 4, or 5 days per week (Monday to Friday)

💼 Responsibilities

Your main tasks will be:

Parcel Prep (Primary Task): Packing small, adorable products (think plushies!) to ship to our global customers.
Translation Help (Secondary Task): Assisting us (the three founders) with Japanese-English translation and interpretation when we need to complete documents or chat with suppliers—since, truth be told, our Japanese isn’t the best!

✨ About You

No qualification required—we’ll provide all the guidance you need! However, we do ask that you are:

Native Japanese speaker with conversational English.
Non-smoker (our products like plushies are sensitive to odors).
In good physical condition since the job involves a lot of moving around, bending to access low shelves, and occasionally using a step stool to reach higher inventory.

👍 It’s a plus

Although not required, it would be fantastic if you:

Are familiar with the Japanese anime universe 🇯🇵.
Have experience in parcel preparation or shipping logistics.
Are good at administrative tasks and organization.

💰 Salary

It’s non-negotiable—no need to bring out your calculator!

1,250 JPY/hour

🏢 The Workplace

Our office isn’t your typical cold warehouse—it’s a comfortable, cozy space equipped with:

Heating and air conditioning.
Modern furniture.
Relaxing music to keep the vibes just right.
Complimentary tea and coffee to give you a kick-start or enjoy during a short 5-minute break.

We’re a small but passionate team that values a friendly, supportive work environment.
