It’s still our shopping in Japan, but the main content of this shopping may be about drug stores. After all, in Japan you have to buy and buy as much as you want. Now let’s talk about it with you. The correct buying posture.
Speaking of shopping in Sapporo. First of all, it is located on the west side of Sapporo JR Station, on the basement floor. On the east side are Daimaru Department Store, PASEO, and ESTA.
Daimaru Department Store: International or Japanese cosmetics and skin care products are available (no YSL and POLA). Concentrated on the first floor. There are a few Chinese counter ladies, but they are all very busy (laughing and crying). Daimaru advertises that foreign customers can get a 50% discount on shopping, but later we found out that this was a trick of the mall. It is to add 95% to the after-tax price, and then go for tax refund. In addition, the handling fee for each tax refund is actually similar to the pre-tax price, which is equivalent to no discount (laughs and cry). Tax refund is on the 7th floor, cash refund is available. Business hours: 10:00-20:00.
I tested my skin on Daimaru’s SK2, IPSA and Albin respectively. I feel that the test of SK2 is relatively watery. Orbin and IPSA have better experiences.
The Orbin test results showed that the moisture in my skin was lower than the ideal value and the sebum was higher than the ideal value. It is recommended that I buy their mid-range Infinesse series moisturizing model. This series also has a whitening model. The selling point is that this series does not contain mineral oil and will not break out acne. (Albin’s penetrating lotions are divided into three series: Exage, Infinesse, and Excia, with prices going up from left to right). Depending on the individual skin type, the main difference is in lotion and water, both of which are healthy water.
The IPSA family is even more detailed. According to the measurement results, the difference is mainly in the emulsion, and the water is both golden water. My lotion seems to be the cheapest among the four. At that time, I wanted to buy the clay mask that was very popular last year, but the salesperson told me that if the cuticle value is higher than 70, you don’t need to use the easy-to-use clay mask
PASEO mall connected to the first floor of Sapporo JR Station It’s also a great place to shop! Ice bear SOREL can be purchased in this mall. There are also many local Japanese women's clothing in the mall. Japanese style is really kawaii. When I was shopping, I didn’t focus on buying clothes. I bought one in a hurry and regretted it when I came back.
On the first floor, there are THREE and ADDITION, which are popular this year, as well as the recently popular Hokkaido brand. Niche brand Shiro body lotion.
THREE is tax-free with your passport. ADDITION is not tax-free, but the lady at ADDITION is very nice. She took the initiative to take me to the information desk on the first floor and got ten coupons (with passport). The amount is over 2,000. Use one for 200 yen and can be stacked. I bought THREE’s popular time-based powder and ADDITION’s sunscreen. (I will continue to post my experience of using various things I bought this time.
There is also a JINS in this mall. Another purpose of my trip is to get glasses. I have always heard about Japanese glasses services. They are more careful, and the anti-blue light glasses are better than those in China. As soon as I arrived in Sapporo, I started searching for JINS (I know this one better). There is a Chinese teller at JINS on the first floor.
In Japan. If you want to upgrade your glasses to ordinary 1.70 lenses (the higher the value, the thinner), you don’t need to add money. (The domestic JINS default is 1.60 lenses, add 300 for an increase of 1.67, add 500 for an increase of 1.74, I personally think that Japan’s 1.70 is not the same as domestic 1.74. (Poor) But adding anti-blue light lenses costs 5,000 yen. Normal lenses can be obtained in about an hour as long as they are in stock. Friends who need anti-blue light lenses for temperatures above 500 degrees can get them. Pay attention.
I was afraid that I might damage the glasses, so I ordered two pairs. After the glasses were fitted, the teller would keep asking you to try them on and help you adjust the tightness and comfort over and over again (I have to admit, I have never encountered this service in China. Now I feel that my glasses are firmly attached to my face)
I am so happy that I got the Japan-exclusive moomin frames
JR East. It is ESTA, a comprehensive shopping mall. There is a drugstore (available with Alipay and WeChat), with a complete range of products: drugstore, thermos cups, Anello backpacks, and various beauty instruments (Ya Meng Japanese Sakura Limited Edition (Elf) ), hair dryer, curling iron, quite complete.
There is a contact lens shop (you can buy colored contact lenses, but mostly white lenses), GU, BIC
CAMERA (electronic products and accessories), and there is Ramen *** Wako on the top floor.
The rest of the shopping malls are mostly close to Tanuki Xiaoji.
Marui Department Store is very big. Most of them are first-tier brands. There are four venues. You can buy PRADA, Dior, CHANEL, Rei Kawakubo, and FENDI. LV is a separate two-story building. There are all kinds of cosmetics, skin care products, and pola on the first floor. I also bought my suitcase here. The Japanese brand ACE is made in Japan, and the usability is as good as Samsonite. I bought a box and went shopping. The box was full and I came home
Tax refunds are available on the 9th and 2nd floors. A 1% handling fee will be deducted for the 8% tax refund.
There are two shopping malls next to Marui that are more suitable for young people. The brand is also relatively friendly to the people.
One is PARCO. It seems that there is a connection between the main building and the new building with the shopping mall on the first floor of JR Sapporo. There are many local brands of clothing, bags, and household items. The style is more girly and Japanese. There is an Issey Miyake counter. There are Francfranc and Muji.
Another PIVOT. There are also various Japanese local brands inside. There is Peach
John underwear store, which is tax-free for purchases over 5,000 yen. The label price is already about 40% off the domestic price, so it is really a good deal. Take this opportunity to make a purchase.
This store also has UNIQLO and GU, a brand owned by UNIQLO, upstairs. GU pajamas don’t seem to be sold in China, so I bought two sets of pajamas. I would like to buy one size larger, but I always feel that the sizes of Japanese girls are too small.
The shopping malls in Sapporo basically close at 7:30 or 8:00. I would like to suggest that all little fairies go to the mall first and then go to the drug store in the evening. However, it is best to scan the goods at the drug store at least once and replenish the goods two or three times. Drugstores have a lot of clues, and there will always be things they miss.
Then it’s time to wrap up the drug store.
Some products of Daguo Cosmetics are the cheapest. However, its marketing strategy is that some popular products are cheaper than other drug stores, but they are restricted in purchase, such as DHC lipstick, Ryukakusan, etc. However, the goods are not particularly complete, mainly small items such as cosmeceuticals and daily necessities. I did not see local brands such as Elisil, Sekkisei, Sofina, etc. The store is also relatively small. The purchase amount is directly tax-free. In my impression, Alipay and WeChat cannot be used, but UnionPay, credit card and cash can be used.
The second is Matsumoto Kiyoshi. The products are relatively complete, including local brands such as Elisil, Sekkisei, Sofina, Dr. Shirono, and Kerun, all at moderate prices. However, I still haven’t seen any of the popular Fan Bingbing products. The star effect is really terrible. It is also directly tax-free if the purchase amount is reached. Alipay and WeChat cannot be used, but UnionPay, credit cards and cash can be used.
Don Quixote. When I was outside, I walked back and forth a few times without realizing that this was Don Quixote. As soon as I entered, my head felt big. The goods are arranged in a messy manner and piled extremely high, which is a bit depressing. But the goods are really complete and the prices are average. The selling point is that it is open 24 hours a day. However, it is not directly tax-free. You need to go to the negative floor and queue up for tax refund. In other words, you have to queue up for checkout and you have to queue up for tax refund. Really tired. If you are looking for a relaxing shopping experience and a comfortable environment, try not to go there. Go ahead if you can't buy something. Alipay and WeChat cannot be used, but UnionPay, credit cards and cash can be used.
Sapporo Cosmetics. The best shopping environment and experience. The goods are not too complete, but the store is bright and bright, and the items are not so crowded. You can shop leisurely. The price is actually a little on the high side, but through cooperation with WeChat, you can scan the QR code to get a red envelope worth 10 yuan or 8 yuan, and you can get a chance to get 80 yuan off when you spend 300 yuan or more three times (I may have run out of energy that night, my whole body was sore, my eyes couldn’t open, and I couldn’t think straight about buying it. I didn’t react and only used it once
You can also buy cosmeceuticals at the New Chitose Airport on the floor of the Doraemon Theme Center (I forgot which floor). It’s a small drug store but you can buy a lot of stuff. If you don’t have enough luggage, go to the check-in counter and go to the third floor to get the most expensive ones. Okay, just fill up the box and forget about the price difference
