Amazon Japan convenience store pick-up?
I recently learned that Amazon Japan offer convenience store pick-up for purchases (up to a certain size). I would like to know whether it would be possible for a foreign tourist to purchase something from Amazon.co.jp and then pick it up from a chosen convenience store, or whether there would be something that prevented a foreigner doing it. (I gather that ID may be required upon pick up, so would a foreign passport or driving licence suffice, or does it need to be Japanese ID?)
I suppose having it sent to my accommodation may be a possibility, yes.
I would like to know whether the pick-up option is at least feasible, though, in case wherever I'm staying won't let me have it delivered there (I don't think a delay would be a real problem, as long as I ordered it in the first week of a two week trip. Such postal delays are very rare, in any case).

If you have an account on Amazon Japan, I think it's possible to receive your products at a convenience store, even as a tourist.

Why don't you have it sent to where you are staying? Some hotels will hold packages for you. A homestay would definitely keep it for you. The main thing I'd worry about is a delay in shipping, and whoever gets the package is stuck with it because you've left already.
