Hardwood charcoal is the rule here. You can purchase boxes of it at pretty much any home center and many many grocery stores/pharmacies. Additionally Amazon will deliver it to your doorstep.
Look for little 3-7kg boxes in the front with red green or blue lettering and æœ¨ç‚ (or ask for mokutan).
Coal is for your Christmas stockings. Not cooking. Christ.

No, you need some charcoal for cooking.

Charcoal is available at most home centres.
But, home centres also have [wood chips](https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%81%E3%83%83%E3%83%97/s?k=%E3%82%B9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%81%E3%83%83%E3%83%97) that are specifically for smoking, which is preferable based on your comments.
And, home centres also, also, often have [cardboard smoke boxes](https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BD%E3%83%88-SOTO-%E7%87%BB%E5%AE%B6-%E3%82%B9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%8F%E3%82%A6%E3%82%B9-ST-114/dp/B000AR1KGQ/ref=sr_1_42?__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&crid=TW0HB7AGVNOT&keywords=%E3%82%B9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF&qid=1665030983&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0Ljk5IiwicXNhIjoiMy40MyIsInFzcCI6IjMuODAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=%E3%82%B9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-42), but if you’re going to use it more than once, you might as well buy [an electric food smoker](https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=%E3%83%95%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89%E3%82%B9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC) online.
