What is cheaper to buy in Japan than in China?

When you go to Japan, you can buy its local specialties, such as electrical and electronic products, Japanese figures, optical instruments and clocks, lacquerware and pottery, Japanese cloisonne, Japanese kimono, pleated fans and lanterns, cosmetics, Japanese clothing and so on.

Electrical and electronic products

Transistor radios, small televisions, CD players, computers, cameras, video recorders, audio equipment, digital clock radios, pocket calculators and other supplies can be bought all over Japan. These products are famous for their high quality and high performance.

Japanese humanoid

Japanese characters are Japanese dolls, and there are many kinds. Different dolls show the characteristics of a region and a certain historical period. Anyway, make up your mind to buy one, it's your precious Japanese souvenir!

Optical instruments and watches

Cameras, video cameras, lenses and accessories, telescopes and microscopes are all products with high quality and moderate price. Popular brands include Seiko brand and Star brand, which are sold in shopping malls, jewelry stores and hotel department stores.

Lacquerware and pottery

Japanese lacquerware is exquisitely made and durable. It is decent and generous to give it to relatives and friends. Plates, vases and tea sets, as well as high-grade pottery works of art, are ideal souvenirs. If you do not waste time, you can buy one to please your boss.

Japanese cloisonne

Hehe, I heard that this is the son of cloisonne in China, with pearl luster and high artistic design, and enjoys a high reputation. Anyway, it's very Japanese. Friends who like to collect can be added to your collection family.

kimono

Fine dyeing techniques, embroidery and weaving techniques are used to make kimonos. Kimono is a traditional Japanese costume, and the price of an authentic kimono can reach ten thousand yuan. This kind of kimono is too expensive and bloated. We can buy an improved kimono without losing our amorous feelings.

Folding fans and lanterns

The quality of Japanese paper products is very good, which makes people cry. If pleated fans or paper lanterns are handmade, the price will remain high. I suggest you buy all kinds of customs, so don't be serious. Diligence is the virtue of the Chinese nation.

Rixi clothing

Japan is also a place that leads the trend of boys and girls in Asia. Of course, there will be many brand-name clothes here. Also, Japanese people have a relatively high standard of living, and internationally renowned brands are willing to settle here.

Generally speaking, shopping in Tokyo is not a very pleasant shopping process for China people, for the simple reason that it is expensive. The per capita income of Tokyo is about 20 times that of China, while the price is about 10 times that of China. Of course, it is not absolute. The most famous Mitsukoshi department store in Ginza is also quite expensive, so it is better to focus on shopping.

Japanese porcelain is quite distinctive, but it is quite expensive in shops, and the price of ordinary styles is also difficult to accept. I thought I would go home empty-handed. As a result, I happened to see a porcelain buyer at a street stall, whose workmanship and style were pretty good. I asked tentatively about the price. A box of five cups sold for only 100 yen, which is about RMB 7 yuan. I bought several boxes on the spot.

However, not everything in Japan is more expensive than in China, such as electrical appliances. If you have a chance to go, you must go to Akihabara in Tokyo, which is a distribution center for electrical appliances, from air-conditioned color TVs to battery headphones. Don't worry about communication difficulties there. Many salespeople come from China, probably because there are many people in China who buy things. I think the best price is audio-visual products. At that time, many styles were relatively new, but the prices were very low. I bought a new Sony wireless remote control walkman, which is equivalent to RMB in 900 yuan. I was very happy to see that the store bought more than 1900 after returning home. The students bought the latest Panasonic desktop stereo this month, including md, cd and deck. It is fully functional, silver-gray, and the console opens slowly like a spaceship. Very cool, the amount is more than 2000 yuan, which has not been seen in the domestic market so far. Some students buy cameras, watches, radios and other electrical appliances, which are generally much cheaper. At least 1 000 is cheaper than 1 000-300 yuan, which can satisfy your shopping desire well.

As for ladies, they often yearn for cosmetics, but they may be disappointed. Cosmetics for breeding halls are very expensive in Japan, and they are basically used to kill foreigners. Japanese seldom buy it themselves, so be careful when you buy it.

There are also many places similar to domestic 10 yuan stores in many prosperous blocks in Japan. Things are cheap, small and interesting, but many of them are made in China, depending on your shopping mentality.

Shopping location

In Tokyo, the capital of Japan, there are many department stores in Ginza, Shinjuku and Shibuya, which are the most famous business districts in Tokyo and even Japan. Most of the specialty stores dealing in watches, electronic instruments and household appliances are concentrated in the electric street in Akihabara, which is also the base camp of Japanese comics.

As for the famous fashion shops in Europe and America, Harajuku and Castle Peak are world-famous shopping hotspots.

Supermarkets and fair-price markets have complete daily necessities, which can add convenience to your journey.

Business?Hours?

The business hours of ordinary shops in Japan are generally from 10 to 8 pm, and they are also open as usual on weekends and national holidays.

Department stores will rest on one of the weekends, and different department stores have different rest days; Besides, the department store closes one hour earlier than other stores (7 pm).

Some specialty stores also rest every Sunday and national holidays, so we need to pay attention to store advertisements.

duty free shop

In addition to special duty-free shops, you can also buy duty-free goods at international airports, hotel shopping malls, shopping centers and department stores.

In the duty-free shop in the downtown business district, there are shop assistants who provide English services to customers. Among them, the famous duty-free shops are Tokyo International Arcade and Kyoto Handicraft Center.

Tip: For some goods, if you buy more than 1000 yen, you can get rid of the 5% consumption tax. Show your passport when you buy a duty-free shop.

Shopping return problem:

If you find a problem when shopping in Japan, whether it is a small commodity or a large commodity, you can return it smoothly as long as you have a receipt. Not only that, in the case of increasingly fierce competition among merchants, in order to attract consumers, merchants have also made various commitments. In recent years, the "coke for you" chain store, which specializes in casual clothes, has put forward the slogan that there is no reason to return the goods within three months. In Japan, there is a chain store specializing in electrical appliances called "Big Camera", and one business is quite popular with consumers. As long as you pay the insurance premium of 500 yen, all the goods you buy in this store will be replaced with new products of the same model within one year, even if you accidentally break them. A friend of mine bought a camera and used it for more than half a year. There was something wrong with it, so he got a new camera and got insurance.

Japanese companies have many discounts during the year. Seasonal discount, anniversary discount, baseball winning discount, holiday discount, etc. In addition to the goods sold on weekdays, there are also backlog goods and small defective goods. For example, pullover clothes, shoes with uneven stitches, etc. All such goods are clearly marked by shops in advertisements and commodities to remind consumers to pay attention. Consumers can decide whether to buy according to the degree of inferior quality. In China, some stores don't return any discounted goods. However, products with advertising discounts in Japanese stores can also be returned.
