5 Best Japanese Microwavable Warming Pillows - They Are Reusable Warmers!

During cold season, I always appreciate Japanese microwavable warmers. I used to use some types of yutanpo (湯たんぽ) for many years, but now I really love microwavable ones because it's so much easier to use. I actually use them almost every day this winter. :) Today, I'm going to share with you five best Japanese microwavable warming pillows based on reviews on Amazon Japan. These five products are top-selling products on Amazon Japan right now. All five products can be also purchased at any drugstores in Japan during cold season. If you are planning on traveling Japan in fall or winter, you should check these excellent Japanese warmers at drugstores there.

1. Kiribai Red Bean Warming Neck Pillow (桐灰あずきのチカラ首肩用)

Kiribai Red Bean Warming Neck Pillow

In Japan, Kiribai (桐灰) is a well known manufacture company which makes their famous Kiribai Kairo, disposable body warmers. Actually, they make many kinds of unique warmers in Japan. If you have ever traveled in Japan during cold season, you've probably seen their products at convenience stores, drugstores and supermarkets there. :) This Kiribai Red Bean Warming Neck Pillow is a reusable microwavable pillow and has so many positive reviews on Amazon Japan. The pillow contains red beans. Just microwave it for 1 minute or so. Then, place the warm pillow over your shoulders for 25 minutes. It increases blood circulation and relieves neck and shoulder tension. It makes you relax, so you might want to use it before going to bed. ;)

2. Hakugen Yutapon Microwavable Pillow L Size (白元アースレンジでゆたぽん Lサイズ)

Hakugen Yutapon Microwavable Pillow L Size

As I mentioned in my previous entry, I really love Hakugen Yutapon (ゆたぽん) series. This Hakugen Yutapon is a reusable microwavable large size pillow. It can keep warming for 7 hours. :) You can use it for your feet, belly and so on. Actually, this is the one I want to purchase in Japan next time. :)

3. Hakugen Yutapon Rilakkuma Microwavable Pillow (白元アースレンジでゆたぽんリラックマ)

Hakugen Yutapon Rilakkuma Microwavable Pillow

If you love Japanese Kawaii items, you might love this Hakugen Yutapon Rilakkuma Microwavable Pillow. :) This Yutapon includes an adorable Rilakkuma pillow case. This is a limited edition, so I am not sure how much longer you can find the one in Japan.

4. Kiribai Lady Wamer Hesokyu Yomogi & Jasmine Warming Navel Pillow (桐灰レディウォーマーへそきゅうよもぎジャスミンの香り)

Kiribai Lady Wamer Hesokyu Yomogi & Jasmine Warming Navel Pillow

This is another interesting pillow from Kiribai. This Kiribai Warming Navel Pillow can keep entire belly warm. When you leaves warming pillow on your navel, it warms up your entire belly because there is a major blood vessel underneath your navel. It relieves menstrual cramps and makes you relax. It can also help relieve constipation. This was made inspired by Navel Moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine therapy. I am really interested in this one. :) You can just microwave it for seconds and leave it over your navel for 20 minutes.
