1. Specialty stores Due to the Japanese people’s love and purchasing power for internationally renowned brands, major brand specialty stores have also sprouted all over Japan. In addition to novel and complete styles, there are also many products specifically for Japan, such as BURBERRY's Blue Label series specifically for the Japanese market. Ginza is the most prosperous, famous and high-end business district in Tokyo, and is also where world brands gather. They are everywhere here, including LV, Dior, GUCCI, CHANEL, BURBERRY and so on. Basically every brand owns a building about four or five stories high.

2. Large Department Stores There are many famous department stores in Japan, such as Shinjuku Takashimaya, Shinjuku Isetan, Ginza Matsuzaka, Ginza Mitsukoshi, Ginza Matsuya, etc. Some department stores are hundreds of years old. Although the products in these department stores are expensive, their style and quality are guaranteed, and they are very cost-effective. If you go shopping during discount season, it’s worth it! The main discount seasons in Japan are spring clothing sales from mid-to-late April; summer clothing sales from mid-July to mid-August; fall clothing sales from late October; and Christmas Eve until In mid-January, winter clothing is auctioned at the end of the year. This last time is the biggest offer.

Three. Akihabara Electrical Appliances Store Japan’s electrical appliances are world-famous. According to surveys, the top two items that Chinese people want to buy when shopping in Japan are electrical appliances and cosmetics. When buying electrical appliances in Japan, of course you have to go to Akihabara. Akihabara is the largest electrical appliance market in Japan and has the most abundant and latest electronic products. Whether you are an electronics enthusiast, an IT enthusiast, or even a novice, you can find your favorite products here. In addition, in addition to digital products, there are also cosmetics, clothing, and handicrafts here, which can satisfy both men's needs and women's hobbies. Fourth, there are many posts circulating online about pilgrimages to Japanese drugstores.

Japanese cosmeceuticals have never just sold medicines, but also a variety of cosmetics and skin care products, with a dazzling variety and functions. It's just a pity that being a woman in Japan is sometimes really happy. Almost all Japanese cosmetics brands can be purchased in drugstores, except for the most high-end and latest products, which can only be found at department store counters. The prices of products in drugstores are much cheaper than those in department stores, and they often have events, discounts or special packages, which are very good value. For example, Kose's Snow Muscle Essence series or Carnabo's Pyracantha series are often sold in combination sets, with prices only 5-6% of those in the Chinese market.

In addition to cosmetics, there are also all kinds of weird things here: far-infrared knee pads that can relieve muscle strain and help protect against cold and rheumatism; electronic thermometers that can track women’s menstrual cycles; shock-proof silicone front pads for high heels; and oral hygiene products. Wet and clean masks. The richness of products and the variety of grades make people enter a maze as soon as they enter the drugstore, which is of course full of surprises. 5. Asakusa If you want to find something with the most Japanese national characteristics, of course you can’t miss Asakusa. Asakusa Kannon Temple in Tokyo is often one of the must-see attractions for tourists. The 250-meter-long street outside the temple gate is a very distinctive commercial street. The small shops are filled with various Japanese folk gadgets: gorgeous kimonos, ukiyo-e paintings, Japanese dolls, Ningyo yaki, etc.

It’s a lot of fun. 6. Imperial Palace’s dealerships There are many large dealerships in Japan. The outlet at the Imperial Palace is the closest large outlet to Tokyo and houses hundreds of discount stores ranging from big name and fashion brands to sports brands. The biggest feature of Imperial Palace OUTLETES is that it is not under one roof, but like an outdoor commercial street, with several adjacent streets and brand stores next to each other.

Because it is located in a mountainous area, the business district is connected by a bridge, so you can enjoy the scenery outside Tokyo while shopping. It's an honor. Of course there are also many snack and food shops, perfect for a family to spend a day here. seven. Venus Castle, the platform of the specialty shopping mall, is actually a large shopping mall, but the interior is decorated like a European town, and the sky is dotted with blue sky, white clouds and stars. It was magical, like entering the Great Hall of Hogwarts School in Harry Potter. You can buy toys from 1-year-old babies to adults at the Ginza Museum, Tokyo's largest toy and video game market.

Eight. Guide to Japanese Shopping Cards Chinese people are accustomed to carrying cash abroad, which is actually very unsafe and very convenient. Nowadays, people are accustomed to getting dual-currency credit cards. In fact, there is a more convenient method. You don’t know UnionPay cards, including UnionPay credit cards and debit cards. UnionPay cards have become an indispensable means of payment for Chinese people traveling to Japan.

All shopping places introduced here, except OUTLETES in the Forbidden City, can be paid directly with UnionPay cards. The advantages of using UnionPay cards abroad are as follows: 1. No need to pay the 1%-3% currency conversion fee. (Dual currency cards need to pay this fee if they choose other card organization networks)

2. Use your RMB account directly for settlement, eliminating the need to purchase foreign exchange for repayment and saving exchange fees.

3. The ready-made UnionPay debit cards and credit cards in your hand can be used directly abroad, and there is no need to apply for a dual-currency card. 4. If you need Japanese yen cash urgently, you can use your UnionPay card to withdraw money from overseas ATMs. In Japan, all 7-eleven convenience stores can see the familiar UnionPay logo and have Chinese menus to facilitate cash withdrawals.

Available cash withdrawal locations include: 7-Eleven convenience stores, post offices, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, UFJ Bank of Tokyo, Citibank, etc. There are 46,000 ATMs in Japan where UnionPay cards can be used to withdraw cash, with handling fees ranging from 0 to 110 yen per transaction. Most of the students were in a group and wanted to clean up the pharmacy. It is recommended to choose a tour that arranges shopping time at Osaka’s Shinsaibashi Shopping Street. The drug stores in the Shinsaibashi area are relatively concentrated, and they are famous for their discounts. Many tourists come back and report that the prices of things bought at Shinsaibashi drug stores are cheaper than those in Tokyo. The two most popular pharmacies on this street are the two opposite pharmacies between No. 2 Store and Disney Store. Shinsaibashi also has Matsumoto Ito, one and two.

The larger one is at the junction of Shinsaibashi and Dokyoton, and is about the size of a three-story building. Both companies often offer 30% off. Cosmetics are sold very cheaply in Kananekia. Cosmetics are sold on the ground floor~ ~There are local Japanese brands inside. There are also many foreign brands. They are all discounted! For example, Paul and Joe have discounts inside, although the color selection may be less~ The first stop is the domestic airport duty-free shop. Since we spent a lot of time on the previous procedures, it was time to go to the computer after passing the security check. I bought 4 Seven Star cigarettes at a duty-free shop called Risheng, each costing US$12. The hard-shell cigarettes were gone. Pay in RMB, 379 yuan per *** (very cheap). The second stop is the First Night Hotel. When you arrive in Japan, you have to tell your family that you are safe, so I bought a phone card for 1,000 yen, which can be used for 10 minutes. After many attempts, I found that there was no problem making calls to domestic landlines; there were some problems making calls to domestic mobile phones. I used to be able to hear the other party's voice through dialing, but the other party couldn't hear my voice.

When dialing China Unicom’s CDMA mobile phone, 9 out of 10 calls cannot be made, which makes people extremely angry. So try to call a landline, otherwise it will be a waste of money. The third stop is the Observatory Museum in Shinjuku Kaikan. In fact, the museum is called a toy park and sells toys, especially Hello Kitty. In fact, there are a lot of cosmetics on sale, such as lip gloss and eye shadow, which are all very cute. Many of them are restricted in Tokyo. I chose the lip gloss, which comes in a transparent petal-shaped shell with a Kitty cat inside, which can be used as a pendant alone. Each box comes in two colors and I can’t put it down. I bought four boxes and gave them to my sisters. Later, I went to other places and never saw Hello Kitty selling these things again. I was glad that I didn’t hesitate at that time.

When I checked out, I found out that 200 would get 10 free. I spent 2520 yen and got a 120 yen coupon, but I couldn't find anything under 200 (except ballpoint pens and pencils), so I spent 300 yen and bought a 420 yen pendant. The fourth stop is the supermarket. In Japan, a bowl of ramen in a store costs about 100 yuan, but it is still very affordable to buy food in the supermarket. I bought milk in the supermarket. It is as big as a house and costs 6-10 yuan. There are also strawberries, a box of 30 yuan, big, red and very tempting. The strawberries bought in domestic supermarkets cost more than 20 yuan and are not as delicious as Japanese strawberries. There are also supermarkets in Japan for 99 yen, which is 104 yen including tax. Many things are made in China

Japanese supermarkets generally sell Haagen-Dazs, strawberry flavor in paper cups, for 263 yen, about 17 yuan, which is cheaper than domestically. The fifth stop, Ginza. It is said that Ginza is a place where expensive things are sold. I’ve heard people from other domestic tour groups tell tour guides that they can’t buy anything there. In fact, there are two kinds of things in Ginza. One is the specialty stores of international first-tier brands, which are definitely expensive, such as LV, Burberry, etc. There are cosmetics that people in our group love to eat. First of all, there is a beautiful house there. The tour guide said it was 30% cheaper than Hong Kong. So, two girls in our group bought more than a dozen bottles of lotion, and the store’s inventory was cleared.

An aunt in the group also bought it together, needless to say, buying it for her daughter.

As a result, it almost became a scam. In the evening, the tour guide realized that they had bought so many things and was shocked because he had a point card in his hand. If he knew they bought so many things, he would have given them points long ago, haha. There is also a Shiseido in Ginza. The first floor seemed to sell food, so I didn’t go in because I didn’t have enough time. There is also a Mikimoto, which I really like, but I couldn't go in due to lack of time. Mitsukoshi Department Store is a famous department store in Japan. I saw netizens recommend Celine and Burberry square towels and handkerchiefs online. When I looked for them, they were found on the first floor of Mitsukoshi. They are 1050 yen made in China and 1500 yen made in Japan.

I picked one each, but couldn't find the teller. When I see an instruction, I don't understand what to write. The meaning is somewhat clear. It turned out that the person was at the cashier, so I had to shout something, waiter. Then I went to the ground floor and bought two boxes of snacks. Before I had time to eat, I bought chocolate cake to fill my belly. The square cake costs 367 yen and tastes like Puzzle or Newspeak. Ginza also has a museum, a building that sells toys on several floors. I bought a Mickey pendant and was given a coupon for 10 yen when I checked out. I no longer wanted it as a souvenir. The sixth stop, Disney. It’s almost impossible not to buy something at Disney because it’s so cute and I hate myself for taking so little money.

Before I went in, I bought a Minnie Mouse tiara, which cost 1,260 yen. From Winnie the Pooh's Honey Hunt, a Winnie the Pooh specialty store. I bought a can of Winnie the Pooh candy for 840 yen. I had so much fun playing Buzz Lightyear’s Interstellar Adventure that I bought a Buzz Lightyear toy gun at a specialty store for 1,600 yen. Finally, I bought a box of cookies at the Mickey Mini store in World Market for 630 yen and a Mickey Mini decoration for 2,000 yen. The seventh stop, Hakone Town. I bought a roasted green ball for 100 yen at Uchino Hakai. My Japanese aunt who sells green meatballs said it was delicious when she saw you in the past and couldn’t help but buy one. To be honest, it doesn't taste very good.

I bought another sweet potato for 100 yen, but they were not baked, but steamed, not whole, but in one piece. Honestly, they taste just like our sweet potatoes. I also bought some pickles at the pickle shop introduced by the tour guide. I didn't eat. My mother ate a few and said they tasted similar. She said a pack cost 500 yen. When paying, the Japanese aunt said I paid too little. There are taxes. Alas, most of the prices I usually see are tax, which means tax is already included. I didn't expect there to be a misunderstanding here. Please pay quickly. I bought 4 boxes of Yunohana at Owakudani in Volcano Jigoku. Because sulfur is produced there, it is extracted from the sulfur, made into powder, and placed in water.

Effective for rheumatism, gynecological diseases and athlete's foot. It costs 500 yen per box and is given away as soon as you buy it. The eighth stop, Shinsaibashi, Osaka. Shinsaibashi can really be called the largest commercial street in Japan. It took me two and a half hours to visit two stores and have a meal. We went to an electrical store, which was a tall building. The brands of electrical appliances are marked on the exterior walls in various colors, making them easy to find. I originally wanted to buy a Nikon camera, it was on sale, 10 million pixels, 3.5x aperture, 40,800 yen. In fact, the store put a real camera there and I took a few pictures. Yes, after looking for a long time and still not seeing the clerk, I had to give up.

When you buy something you have to bargain. A group of friends bought two necklaces for their daughter, which cost more than 13,000 yen per day. Later, I told the clerk that it was cheaper (no grammar at this time, haha). The clerk finally paid 12,000 yen, and the group of friends paid happily. There is a floor dedicated to selling watches. I didn’t go to see it, but the little girl in our group bought an Omega watch for her mother. This style is not available in China and costs 5,000 RMB. She also bought six Seiko watches, saying they were cheap, haha, awesome. In addition, buying a passport at this store is tax-free. Remember to ask the tour guide for your passport. (The boss may not give it to you, but you can drag the boss to buy it with you.) The ninth stop is the drugstore.

Japanese pharmacies not only sell medicines, but also daily necessities and cosmetics. Although many things in Japan are priced uniformly, I found that prices vary from place to place. For example, a Shiseido shampoo I saw in Ginza cost more than 700 yen, but it was sold elsewhere for more than 600 yen. The prices are different. The drug store sells a lot of useful things, but I don’t understand Japanese very well, so I don’t know what to use for some things.

And almost all of them are made in Japan, with Shiseido being the most popular. P&G products used in our country are rarely sold. I didn't buy anything in Ginza. I bought a lot in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, mainly Shiseido cosmetics. The tour guide recommended Japanese hair dye as good, and my mother also bought some. The girls in our group are amazing.

She swept all the DHC products on the shelf into the basket and said they were very cheap. I don't use DHC products. After checking the price, the soap for face washing seems to be more than 700 yen, which is about 50 yuan. When I came back and looked at the catalog, it seemed to be 110 yuan. It seems really cheap. I bought 15 types of Shiseido facial cleanser and hand cream for only 399 yen, which is very cheap. When I come back, I give them to my sisters. Everyone said it was super easy to use and even said they would help me carry it if I had the opportunity in the future, haha. The tenth stop, tour bus. In fact, nothing is sold on the tour bus, but when I saw the titanium bracelet the tour guide brought, the radiation protection sticker on the TV, the activated carbon placed next to the driver, etc., I had to ask them.

If they are all good things, we will buy them. The titanium bracelet the tour guide brought was really expensive. Although I haven’t used one before, so I don’t know which one is better, but I believe that for one price, you get one product over another, and there must be a difference between things. What's more, in Japan, the pricing of goods is stricter than in China (the price of domestic things can sometimes be several times different, I think everyone has experienced it). Radiation protection stickers can be placed on mobile phones, computers, and TVs. It is said that it has been proven that many thugs can suffer from cataracts and facial paralysis. Buy one now. The name of activated carbon is water demon, which is a very demonic name. It can purify the air. If someone has asthma, just keep it next to you when you sleep at night.

There is one next to the driver because the driver wants to smoke and is afraid of disturbing the passengers. After a few days, he really didn't smell any smoke (but maybe tourists would complain to the driver if he smelled smoke, and the driver wouldn't feel good, I think). It can also be placed in the refrigerator. When washing vegetables, use it for the last 10 minutes to clean the washed vegetables, which can absorb pesticides. Can be used permanently. After a while, just put it in boiling water and cook it for 3-4 minutes before it can be used again. Anyway, it worked, so I bought three. It feels a bit like advertising now, but let me just say that a lot of Japanese products are practical. Japan is a high-tech country, and their products are also very humane and for the health of the people, so Japan is the country with the longest lifespan, with an average life span of more than 80 years.

I think this is inseparable from their products. What mattresses and bowel cleansing products are there? Since I haven’t bought any, I won’t introduce them. The eleventh stop is the outlet near Kansai Airport. The brands sold in the outlets here are different from those in Qingpu. Some of them know each other, some don't. I'm not sensitive to my own brand, and I don't know the domestic prices, but one from LACOSTE costs more than 600 yuan, which doesn't seem cheap. Later I bought some at GAP. I haven't paid much attention to this GAP brand in China (I will check it out later). Anyway, children's clothes cost around 100 and adult clothes cost around 200, which is not cheap. The twelfth stop is the duty-free shop at Kansai Airport.

Every day the tour guide would ask, do you want to go anywhere else? We all said the duty-free shop, and the tour guide also said to send us in early. But there are really a lot of people and there are a lot of procedures. By the time we checked our bags, got our boarding passes, went through security, and went through customs, time was running out. I bought a bottle of perfume and two bottles of sake at the duty-free shop. When paying, you need your boarding pass and the card given by the tour guide in advance.

If you pay more than 10,000 yen, you will get a 500 yen coupon, and then you will buy two boxes of snacks. The little girls in the group also bought collars with therapeutic effects on their heads and necks, and I also bought four (available in China). I originally wanted to go shopping for Swarovski, but I didn’t have enough time and the airport was so big that I couldn’t see its store all the way. The thirteenth stop, the plane back home. There is a service to sell duty-free goods on the plane. It was also available on the plane when I went abroad, but I didn't do it at the time. However, things are not much cheaper. They may be cheaper than domestic prices, but I'm not sure. I bought 5 boxes of L'Occitane lip gloss and special lip gloss on the plane, which cost 63 US dollars each, and I paid 492 yuan. At this point, shopping is all over.
