\x0d\\x0d\Notes\x0d\\x0d\1. Compare shopping. My experience is that the same items (cosmetics, skin care products) are the most expensive in Hakone (1,280 yen), and the ones in Tokyo are the most expensive. The small shop inside the subway station in Ginza is actually the cheapest (498 yen). My experience is that the place where you go is not as good as the place where you go, and the ramen is also from 400 to more than 1000 yen (there is no difference in the contents), especially the ramen. When making calls from Japan, some of the phone cards we use to call back to China cost 1,000 yen for 45 minutes, and some magnetic card calls cost 1,000 yen and take less than 10 minutes\x0d\2. Pay attention to whether there is a special price sign, and never buy items on sale. It's cheap, and if you don't understand it, you must ask. Use a calculator to show the price. Usually buying 2 items is very cheap, but the original price will return to the third item, so if you don't understand, you must ask. Yi cut Yin - means 9 Discount, two-cut lead---means 20% off\x0d\3. All consumption in Japan is subject to consumption tax. If there are two words "tax included" in the price, it means that the price includes tax, and there is no need to pay extra. ,\x0d\4. When buying photographic equipment, be sure to go to Akihabara to compare. The items on sale are very, very good. My colleague bought a Canon (15x optical zoom, interchangeable lens, 8.4 million pixels) ) and Sony (with the same configuration as Canon) cameras are priced at RMB 3,900 and RMB 3,200 respectively, which are much cheaper than those in Hong Kong and China, but you should pay attention to whether there are Chinese or English instructions\x0d\5.
