My Japanese is not so great yet and I am a little overwhelmed trying to find what store and product to get! My feet smell terrible 😢..
I have never had foot fungus before, but it has started arriving in Japan..
Can anyone recommend a product and store??

You have NHI, go to the doctor and get a prescription anti fungal. It’ll work better than anything you buy OTC.
Go to a 皮膚科医院 (dermatologist). They’ll prescribe an anti-fungal cream.
Great comments above, but in a pinch diaper cream (also unbeatable for ‘jock rot’): zinc oxide kills fungus.
If it’s just regular old athlete’s foot it’s called 水虫 mizumushi in japanese. Most pharmacies will have creams and sprays for it. Also I’d recommend getting some kind of alcohol or cleaning spray for the insides of your shoes and make sure to dry them out regularly on the balcony.
As other’s said though a dermatologist would probably be better and the creams they give you will be better too.
Just go to a drugstore and tell them you have “inkin” and ask them to fix it.
