Must-buy list and matters needing attention in Japanese tourism shopping

Nowadays, traveling to Japan has become a very popular experience. Many China people can do a lot of shopping in Japan, because after all, the quality of Japanese goods has been recognized all over the world. So what are the must-buy and unnecessary things in Japan?

There is a wide range of things to buy, and everyone needs different things according to practicality, as long as the price is right.

Let me tell you what I shouldn't have bought. After all, pit prevention and fraud prevention are the primary concerns in recent years.

Put what you can buy at the end, and if you have done enough anti-fraud work, leave it to the end. If the answer is useful, remember to like and follow me. I have fresh travel-related articles every day, starting with the text.

Say in front: the duty-free shops with tour guides may have pits, nail clippers, mobile phone stickers and so on. Several types of shops are summarized here. It's easy to find a self-help tour if you can go with a group at night.

Electronics: Dianqiao, Large.

Camera;

Comprehensive category: Dasuo, Kando;

Drugs and cosmetics are all over the street, basically the same. But remember not to shop in duty-free grocery stores.

In fact, in recent years, not only Japan, but also many places have circulated consumption traps, whether it is Thai latex or Yunnan bracelets, Japan is among them, including diapers, over-the-counter drugs made by Dingge and so on.

Some do have doorways, and some need a little common sense. Let's start with the doorways: you don't have to buy duty-free ones.

Going out to buy duty-free goods has always been a misunderstanding of many people, but in fact Japan is not a country with high consumption tax. The real discount artifact in Japan is not a tax rebate, but a UnionPay card.

Moreover, even in duty-free places, some things are not duty-free, which involves something called a class of goods, which is the real Japanese limit.

Here, for your convenience, let's take an example: Dawang diapers. In fact, it is divided into a global version and a Japanese version, with the same quality, but the Japanese version is better than the domestic version. Do you feel very contradictory?

Even if the materials used in the same factory are the same, the acceptance criteria of the global version and the Japanese version are different. The overseas version of the diaper urine volume display and the vitamin C protective layer on the buttocks are not available, but in Japan.

Yes, the quality is the same, which can be understood as a simple version. The price gap is not particularly large, but the Japanese version is basically sold in Japanese duty-free shops, and the things that can be exempted from tax are all the same things bought in China. This is the difference.

This article also applies to goods such as hair dryers and toilet seats. The overseas version is the same, only a smaller version. If you are not too particular about product configuration, you can buy it home directly. If you are very particular, you can buy it at the local duty-free shop.

Let's talk about common sense first. Here is a common sense that corrects common sense and is led astray by procurement. Japanese cosmeceuticals have always been famous, but in fact, drugs that do not directly need the guidance of doctors are all second-class drugs. More generally speaking, they are drugs that treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Therefore, it is really recommended to buy something like:

Take medicine instead of medicine. If you catch a cold for a week, use Longjuansan to relieve the symptoms.

My aunt doesn't rely on hot water to take painkillers;

It hurts too much to put on a plaster or something.

And if you don't use a lot, the medicine will expire and not be used often. Eye drops and the like are not particularly recommended. If you really want to buy something, you just need to buy something cheap, because the real effect is just eye fatigue.

Finally, talk about things that can be bought, daily necessities and clothes. There are many amazing things in Japan that are worth buying, but it depends on the brand. The hundred-dollar store in Dachang is worth a visit. Baking supplies, materials and so on are cheaper than Taobao.

Clothing, especially Japanese brands, is worth buying, and the price is about half of that in China, but it is not very friendly to "big brothers" because there are fewer tall people in Japan.

Apple is probably the cheapest electronic product. Moreover, the domestic price of electronic products, including cameras, is similar to that of Japan, and there is no global warranty, so it will be very troublesome to buy them in Japan.

This varies from person to person. In my personal experience, there is no advantage in buying those international brands in Japan. One is an international brand, which is similar all over the world, and the other is that it may not have an advantage in price.

Instead, it is more affordable to go to supermarkets and drugstores where ordinary Japanese families shop and buy some practical and cheap household items or standing medicines.

There are some small household artifacts in Japan, which are practical and functional and can solve some small but often troubled problems in home life.

Perhaps it is because Japan is a country with extremely scarce resources and space, so they have achieved the ultimate in the spatial design and functional application of some supplies.

For example, I bought a folding stainless steel cup for travel in Japan, which is as big as a tape measure when folded. When opened, it is a disposable paper cup with a regular size and a small hanging ring, which is convenient to put in a storage bag or hang on a key chain.

The stainless steel used is also very light and not heavy at all. I'm a mosquito killer, and I'm allergic. I have bought anti-mosquito and mosquito repellent drugs in many countries. Comparatively speaking, Japan has the best effect.

Especially for people with allergies, some anti-allergic drugs and supplies in Japan are very good. But when you buy this kind of products, you must ask about the usage and dosage.

Although there are many Chinese characters in Japanese characters, things related to the entrance must be accurate and can't be guessed at random.

On the contrary, it is a product strongly recommended by the tour guide, such as horse oil toiletries. Personally, I don't feel very good.

Japanese electronic products, if you are good at Japanese, of course you can buy them. The first product is genuine, and the second price has certain advantages, but only if you can read the instructions and understand the relevant warranty repair and return rules.

Japanese candy chocolate is also good, not too sweet and greasy like those in Europe and America, and the packaging is also very delicate, especially suitable for buying and giving away.

In addition, if you are a woman, you can consider buying some clothes and skirts. Although many middle and low-grade clothes in Japan are produced by OEM in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, they are well designed and have high workmanship standards, which are suitable for Asian skin color and figure.

Some clothes look inconspicuous, but they are comfortable and beautiful to wear.

I seem to have bought a lot of things, but I didn't think of anything I shouldn't buy at the moment. Especially his skin care and beauty products, I think there are many types that are easier to use than those in Europe and America, which are more suitable for Asian skin. The most important thing is that the cost performance is super high, which is much cheaper than those in Europe and America, and the effect is better than it.

And his thermos and stewing beaker. The heat preservation effect is really good, and then the cup is still very light. Now mothers who have given birth to babies basically have several Japanese cups, such as gourmets, xiangyin and tigers.

Here are some cheap and easy-to-use Japanese gadgets I often buy (above):

1, daily shift

Xiaolin underwear liquid, sterilization and odor removal, underwear cleaning liquid must be clean and hygienic, underwear menstrual blood cleaning, without any chemical additives, super practical, oh, menstruation suddenly accidentally dirty, with it, no longer have to worry, easy to wash.

Pelican peach whitening ass soap is more than just soap for washing ass.

Remove melanin, exfoliate, moisturize, improve rough buttocks, exfoliate, sweet-smelling peach [Yi tooth], and improve rough and dull skin caused by sedentary and underwear friction. Not only hips can be used on elbows, armpits, thigh roots and toes.

Dandelion lotion for private parts ranks first in Japan. Japanese girls are very picky about this. To regulate the hormone balance and hinder the growth of bacteria, every sanitary napkin needs a bottle.

WhiteconcVC Whitening Bath Lotion recommended by Jelly Lin is very professional for body whitening. It tastes super delicious (grapefruit flavor), gently exfoliates, improves joint blackening and rough skin.

2, skin care and beauty

Spot Youtianlan collagen hyaluronic acid jelly mask moisturizing hydrating firming elasticity 3 pieces into blue is collagen moisturizing type, suitable for dry skin with special water shortage. Gold (yellow): anti-aging, moisturizing, moisturizing and restoring skin fullness.

Large bottle of perilla water

Super cost-effective Ginza water, this is water, and it feels like the essence. Rich in hyaluronic acid vitamin C, just like drinking enough water after applying it to the skin, it is very tender. I will use it to make a water film every two days and apply it to my neck. I don't feel bad if I use it blindly.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so we should do a good job of sun protection. There are too many things to buy, and there are endless regrets.

Worth buying

1, Japanese skin care products

Such as SK2, CPB, Albin, POLA, etc. Japan is the country that puts the best goods in local shopping malls, followed by countries such as duty-free shops. You can consider buying in shopping malls in Japan, but please note that the price is higher than that of duty-free shops. Therefore, for the same product, please don't just compare the price. Be sure to ask the version. Different versions have different prices.

Let's take a walk around the drugstore.

Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, Amway, Sharon Bass and other medicines are still worth buying. When parents are old, arthritis or something can still be alleviated.

Step 3: table

Citizen and Casio, two Japanese brands, are still very cheap in China.

4. Chocolate

Buy in bulk, it's cheap, delicious, it doesn't take up space, and it's good to give it away ~

It's not worth starting.

Everything Haitao can achieve, such as coix seed water, diapers, thermos pots, milk powder and so on. , take up space, some are still very heavy. There is a limit to what everyone can take by plane. Unless you just need it and it's hard to buy it, then give it up.

From personal experience, the biggest principle is to try to buy products from local Japanese brands, because these brands are generally of good quality and cheaper than domestic ones.

Mainly divided into 1. Pharmacy: all kinds of skin care products, cosmetics, medicines and snacks can be bought in pharmacies. Many kinds of products are very cheap, which is why many people buy them in these places.

2. Japan's middle and high-end cosmetics and skin care brands: mainly brands that Japan's four famous ladies and drugstores can't find, and they are also very popular in department stores and duty-free shops.

3. Japanese clothing, shoes and bags brands: mainly Japanese brands such as Porter, CDG Play, Neighbourhood, WTAPS, Beams, SOPH and BAPE.

Some brands are much cheaper than domestic ones. In addition, champion, which is very popular now, is also very valuable in Japan.

4. Japanese jewelry brands: mikimoto, tasaki, samansa, starjewelry and other big brands.

5. Secondary related surroundings: from various handheld games to key chain folders.

Probably these advantages are cost-effective, and there are styles that are not available in China.

There is always something to buy when traveling to Japan, but what should I buy? What not to buy varies from person to person. Different people may have different needs and buy different things. Of course, if you want to do online shopping, you just buy something and sell it back to earn some difference, that's another matter.

I have been to Japan three times, with a time span of 18. During this period, our country has changed a lot, prices have soared, and the demand and concept of Japanese goods have also changed a lot. Therefore, my shopping is completely changed according to the times and my own preferences, but Japan has been very stable in recent years and the price has not changed much, which has narrowed the distance between the two.

I first went to Japan in the 1990s. At that time, I didn't have much money and the yen exchange rate was high. Everything in Japan is very expensive, or I can't afford it.

My brother-in-law gave me100000 yen pocket money on my first day in Japan. I don't know what money is. He took me to a middle-aged car market not far away and told me that I could buy a car with low horsepower.

Then he took me to the mall and saw that a cheap suit cost 30 thousand yen to 40 thousand yen. Later, I used the money to buy a second-hand camera. At that time, I opened a second-hand camera shop and sold it when I came back, earning two or three thousand yuan.

I went to Japan for the second time in 20 15 and arrived in Fukuoka by cruise ship. I don't have much time to go ashore, but I have enough shopping time. At this time, great changes have taken place in China. Not only has the material wealth been greatly enriched, but the people's income has also increased. Seeing things in Japan this time is not only familiar, but also too expensive, because the prices of some domestic industrial products have approached or surpassed those of foreign countries.

I bought several appliances, razors, headphones and mini speakers this time. In addition, I bought a lot of medicine, eye drops, cold medicine, stomachache medicine and antihypertensive medicine in the drugstore.

The third time was a free trip on 20 17. This time, I have time to take a closer look at Japan's society and commodity economy. But this time, in addition to bringing what I want to others, I spent most of my time in the medieval market in Japan to see how developed Japan treated old or idle things. Finally, I bought a lot of porcelain from Japan, Britain and Italy, and also bought some Japanese iron pots.

In fact, there is nothing to buy or not to buy, it depends on your heart. In short, don't take shopping as a burden of travel. It's always embarrassing or funny to come back with a toilet seat.
