Stationed here, as in American military (active duty or SOFA dependent)?
Edited to specify that we have APO and FPOs out here. Let’s say that you’re stationed at Yokosuka. There’s a normal USPS on base – you’ll get your box set up as you in-process.

be prepared to pay out the ass. You really should try to buy it locally through [amazon.com](https://amazon.com) or whatever local branch they have. seriously i sent some peanut butter from chiba to my dad. peanut butter was 1500jpy shipping was 8000 or something
I mean if you’re stationed herw, it would be cheaper to ship it through USPS.
If you are military then you are lucky and have a US APO/FPO address. You also have a Japanese version of the address, but just use that for domestic Japan post
