I dont have a credit card, and I want to buy something from America. How would I go about getting a bank transfer or money order? Could anyone tell me the right vocabulary to use at the bank or post office?

What about using Paypal or Western Union?

It would depend on what you plan on buying and the person you plan to buy it from. Ask the seller in the United States if they accept "Western Union". Western Union just made a come back to Japan after pulling out for about a year, and they have expanded business. Before it was very difficult because only one small bank in Tokyo could do it, now Travelex handles it at more locations that are easier to find in the big cities. Western Union can be found in the major areas of Japan (Hyogo (Kobe), Chiba, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Miyagi (Sendai), Kanagawa (Yokohama)) all handled via Travelex offices. http://www.westernunion.co.jp/en/index.php

western union is hard to find in japan. I would suggest trying a international money order or getting a debt card from the post office.
