Never buy these things when traveling to Japan.

Never buy these things when traveling to Japan.

Japanese has always been one of the most popular outbound countries in China. What should I not buy when traveling to Japan? This is what I brought to Japan. Don't buy these things. Welcome to browse!

In fact, shopping in Japan only needs to grasp three points. That is, time, place and people.

The so-called time, of course, is about time. Generally speaking, the big discounts in Japan twice a year are winter and summer. Winter starts slowly from the beginning of 65438+ 10, and almost all stores have discounts by the middle of 65438+ 10. Summer began to brew in early July and broke out in mid-July. Therefore, it is cheaper to go to Japan. Please grasp the time, from early October to mid-June in winter 65438+ 10, and from mid-July to the end of July in summer. You are not sure about these two times, so what else do you want to buy cheaply?

The so-called geographical location, of course, is about places. Of course, the first choice is Tokyo and Osaka, and you can't finish shopping. Generally speaking, Tokyo has a lot of new things to choose from, while Osaka's projects are relatively fixed and there are few choices, but some parts are already very cheap without discounts.

The so-called harmony between people, of course, is about traveling companions. If you want to go shopping in Japan, of course, you should go with someone who also likes shopping, or at least he should like shopping. A traveling companion is really important. He will not only accompany you, but also affect your pace and mood. If you find someone who is different from you, both of you will be unhappy.

Besides seeing scenic spots, soaking in hot springs, enjoying cherry blossoms, and shopping, see what Japan must buy! Don't buy anything else!

Don't buy anything

1, PSP: the price is not much different from that in China. If you come back to buy a memory card, the price is almost not cheap.

2. Digital cameras and camcorders: Many people will buy them when they go to Japan. Personally, I think the price/performance ratio is not high, which is slightly cheaper than that in China, but the operating system and warranty in Japan are more troublesome, so I think it is still not worth it.

3. What to eat: Japanese food is too expensive to take back. A small box of candy costs several hundred yuan, and the food is not delicious. Except chocolate, of course.

4, mobile phone: It is said everywhere that Japanese mobile phones are cheaper than Hong Kong, but in the sim card, it can toss you to death, get stuck and disconnect. Just buy a Hong Kong bank honestly and cheaply.

Something worth buying.

1, cosmetics: you must buy cosmetics when you go to Japan. Buying Japanese products is about the domestic price 1/3, which is quite cost-effective. What DHC/ Shiseido/Meidi Kose ... Very cheap. You can buy it in pharmacies and supermarkets in Japan.

2. Watches: Watches are also cheaper and of good quality than those in China. The quality of watches that are only equivalent to tens of yuan is not worse than that of domestic 200-300 yuan. However, Casio's watches are also half the domestic price, and they are all original in Japan.

3. Buy products with discounts in shopping malls when appropriate: Unlike China, discounts in Japanese shopping malls are a gimmick, and discounts in Japan are really cost-effective. My friend bought a longines watch at a discount, which is equivalent to more than 3 thousand yuan. Seeing the same watch in China costs more than 10,000 RMB. This is indeed a profit. Although it is not Japanese, it is probably due to tariffs and discounts. It is very cheap.

4, razors, small household appliances: Japan's strengths, not much to say. Philips razors are cheaper than domestic ones 1/3, and the latest styles.

5, chocolate: MM who likes chocolate must buy some, although the price is a bit expensive, but the taste is really different.

6. Souvenirs: The prices of souvenirs in Japanese tourist attractions are still very reasonable. Unlike China, it is expensive to buy souvenirs at scenic spots. If you think it is suitable, you can consider buying it.

Japanese shopping product recommendation

The price in Tokyo is very expensive, and a bowl of the most common noodles costs 70 to 80 yuan. However, compared with the high price, many of its mid-range clothing accessories are very value for money in terms of price and quality ratio.

1 shoes

The boots in Tokyo shopping malls are very beautiful, so you don't need to know the brand. As long as it is made in Japan, it is generally very comfortable and obedient, and the leg repair effect is obvious. The price is generally around 1000 yuan, which is already very high-end.

2. Cosmetics and toiletries

The Japanese always keep the latest products for themselves. For example, Shiseido's latest products usually take about half a year to go public in Hong Kong, and even later in Beijing. Moreover, many cosmetics sold in Japan are made in Japan, which is often different from those sold in Beijing. When buying cosmetics, the service girl will seriously advise you what to use according to your skin, not what products are expensive and what she recommends to you.

In particular to beauty electrical products.

What can't I take when traveling in Japan?

Consignment: Generally speaking, there are no special restrictions. But don't take too much, it's easy to be found by the customs. Even if the Japanese customs won't check it, it won't be checked by our own customs when we return home. So no matter how much cosmetics you buy, you'd better check them. If you buy some expensive brands, we made a simple comparison, which is cheap in China. Why not buy it here at T3 Capital Airport?

Carry-on: If you carry it with you, all the equipment should not exceed 100ml. And this 100ml refers to the packaging capacity of your cosmetics. Even if your cosmetics have been used, there are only two days left, but the packaging bottle is 1 10ml. The strict rules of this custom. Of course, in China, it also depends on the mood of the people at the security check and the specific situation in China at that time. For example, if you meet an APEC meeting, or someone explodes at the airport, forget it and register.

Extended reading: tips for Japanese tourism

Japan is a small country, but Tokyo alone has a population of 35 million. You can imagine how dense these cities are. Although there is a large population, there will be crowds, but the Japanese obey public order very much and can't see passers-by who run red lights. So when traveling to Japan, don't do anything that violates public order, such as running a red light. It is worth noting that taking the elevator in Tokyo has the habit of Zuo Li walking to the right.

Anyone who knows Japanese culture knows that Japan's service industry is very developed, which is also inseparable from the enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of service personnel. When entering the store, a warm "welcome" greeting may scare you. In China, many customers will tip the service staff if they are very satisfied with the food, but in Japan, they will not accept any consumption. Even if you secretly leave the consumption on the table, they will catch up and pay you back, and they will never accept it.

Public bathhouses are a unique product of Japan, also called "soaking in water". If you haven't tried public bathhouses, try Japan. The price of public bathhouses in Japan is very cheap, as long as 450 yen, which is the price for any soaking. It is said that in order to give full play to the essence of public bathhouses, Tokyo Bathing Association has planned to renovate public bathhouses before the Olympic Games and install etiquette instruction cards in four languages for public bathhouses, so that every passenger or contestant in Tokyo can enjoy the fun and enjoyment brought by public bathhouses.

When you travel to Japan, you have to take photos everywhere, and then spread them to places like Space and Weibo to share your happiness with you. However, although there are many places in Tokyo that provide WIFI, it has not yet reached the point of popularization. So if you want to use WIFI for free, the simple way is to rent a convenient router at the airport and surf the Internet through your smartphone.

When you travel, you can't live without transportation. Last year, Japan began to implement a card to take subways and buses all over the country, which is very convenient to use. And you can apply for and return the car card at any ticket office, but you have to pay a deposit of 500 yen when you apply for the card, and you will be refunded 500 yen when you return the card. At the same time, many passengers will take their bus cards home as souvenirs.
