The most cost-effective list of what to buy in Japan Japan Shopping Guide

The first reason for going to Japan is for fun, and the second reason for shopping. Now I will tell you how to shop in Japan. Next, I will tell you about shopping. You can refer to the must-buy items when you go there. biccamera

The Japanese department store with the best discounts

If I could only visit one store in Japan, then I would definitely choose biccamera. This one is enough and it is distributed all over Japan.

I was first introduced to Amway by a friend because the Kindle Paperwhite 2 costs 899rmb in China, but it only costs about 540rmb here, which is completely a benefit from tax rebates. Later, when I chatted with Japanese friends, they also commented that it is a super convenient discount store. An eyeful of electronic massage equipment. Categories include home appliances, cameras, daily necessities, electronic dictionaries, etc.~

Even if you don’t speak Japanese, you can easily buy it. The Japanese shop assistants here can also communicate with each other in a basic way and have a calculator nearby to do the calculations for you. Regarding the price, they would also say "thank you" and "out of stock", but not much else.

Biccamera will pack it up and send it to the airport for free if you buy it for 100,000 yen. No matter what day you buy it, you can just pick it up when you leave Japan. Even though we only bought it for 80,000 yen, we still sent it to the airport.

Although horse oil is praised in China as a miracle cure for acne, fires, skin allergies, baby eczema, sweat spots, athlete's foot, wealthy hands, and hair moisturizing, various horse oil products are also endlessly recommended

NO1 Enough rest time

Many people recommended this before going to Japan. At that time, I just wanted to take it with me when leaving Japan. But after the third day after going to Japan, my entire soles of my feet were damaged due to the long journey. I had swollen blisters!!!! I really thought that I couldn't go anywhere after I was done, but I started to take enough rest, and it disappeared the next day. Suggestions:

1. Get it as soon as you arrive. I basically put one on it every day before going to bed. My whole foot won’t hurt and it recovers quickly~ Only then can I start the next day’s trip!!! Cool.

2. Pay attention to the red marked "for foot__" in the picture. This one is for the sole of the foot. Japan also sells one that is for the calf and calf. I feel that this one is more practical.

3. If girls are tired of wearing high heels when commuting to and from work, they can also be used to wear them. Because I only travel long distances when traveling, so although it is very useful, I did not bring it back.

4. This is a pack of 4 pieces. Use two pieces at a time. Keep the rest in the refrigerator for next use. Please make sure your accommodation has a refrigerator.

Price reference is 616 yen/pack of 12 pieces

NO3FANCL Cleansing Powder Wash_パウダ_しっとりa 50g

Super recommended! Five-star praise

Fancl has a short shelf life, usually only half a month to a month. This cleansing powder is the first in the cosme awards. If you want to buy it, please use it up as soon as possible~ And please choose the set with bubbles!!! As I said before, I went to Japan without bringing anything, and I prepared a complete set of cosmetics. I was in a hurry and didn’t buy the set with bubbles. Later I had to buy it again because it was in powder form and needed to be foamed.

Feeling: After washing, my skin feels cool, slightly cool, not particularly obvious, but after using it 2-3 times, it is obvious that the whole skin has become much cleaner~ It makes it clean, not whiter or anything else, it just makes it very clean! Highly recommended.

Suggestion: Because the shelf life of fancl is relatively short, I don’t dare to bring it back. You might as well give it a try haha.

Price: I can’t tell the difference between lotion and lotion when I buy them together. The unit price is around 1000-1500.

NO4aminomoist lotion

This is also a cosme award First, their other products are just average, but this one is smooth to use.

Highly recommended by fellow cosmetics guinea pigs~

Price: around 2,160 yen

They also have the same type of moisturizing lotion, because I had already bought 500ml and felt like I wouldn’t be able to use up all of it. , so I brought it for someone else, but it turned out that my friend was allergic to all the whitening ingredients in Japanese cosmeceuticals, and then she became allergic, which proved that this product contains whitening ingredients! So if anyone has the same situation, please pay attention~ She was allergic to the above The lotion is not allergic, so it proves that the lotion is safe.

NO5 マットシフォン Liquid Foundation

There are packaged and unpackaged ones. Because it is so easy to use, I bought another bottle for my review: it just doesn’t look like others. The liquid foundation doesn't spread like that or is grainy, but it is a smooth, thin layer, and the color is very comfortable, a little whiter, and it fits Asian skin color (yellowish) and people with naturally fair skin. Girls, please give up this one. . . . I'm very fond of it ~ it looks very natural when applied.

Price: 1,728 yen

I would like to recommend two cosmeceuticals that I like very much and have bought multiple copies of. They are all produced by CANMAKE

NO6CANマッシュマロウダ_MB If your Japanese is not good, please look for Marshamallowfinishpowder

NO7 Moritaya’s tofu mask in Japanese is ョ_グルトパック 150G

I just started using it when I came back from Japan. After using it for a week, my whole skin became as soft as tofu. I regretted it, why not buy more and bring it back!!!!

How to use: Apply this to face after cleansing every day, avoiding sensitive areas such as eyes, and then wash off with water after 5-10 minutes.

If the previous cosmetics only make you look beautiful, then this one will fundamentally make you look beautiful and make your skin super good.

Based on personal experience, it is recommended that you apply it after cleansing before going to a date, and then make sure your skin is in good condition that day. This can be used every day, but everyone’s situation is different. Is it good to use it frequently? I don’t dare to say, anyway, I think it’s a pity to use it at night.

The 150G capacity may be used up in a month if used every day. I didn’t dare to buy more because I didn’t try it out. Another reason is that the price is 1,728 yen, which is a bit expensive.

NO8KISSYOU toothbrush

The legendary KISSYOU negative ion toothbrush. Before coming to Japan, some friends said they wanted to wholesale Japanese toothbrushes because they are so easy to use. . . I didn’t have time to try it out, so I just bought a toothbrush and a replacement head.

1. As shown in the picture, this product won the first place in the COSME Awards.

2. This is not an electric toothbrush. Pressing the button in the middle will produce negative ions. Of course, I didn’t feel it. It is said to have an electric smell.

3. It is said that the correct way to use it is without toothpaste, but if you are not used to it, you can gradually reduce the amount of toothpaste.

4. This uses a lithium battery, which lasts for one year. The toothbrush head should be replaced every three months. There are three-row and four-row toothbrush heads. The one I bought is four-row, which can penetrate deeply between the teeth. , three columns are more suitable for children's teeth, please see 3 and 4 written on the replacement head

Usage experience: I have only used it for two weeks, and my gum bleeding symptoms have reduced. I like it better. The layering of this toothbrush head is not parallel. The upper layer is thinner. Well, I will see the specific effect later.

After six months of use, the dental calculus was really brushed away. . . I was so scared that I thought my tooth had fallen out. It’s so easy to use. It’s really cheap. Compared with electric brushes, it has been included in Japan’s must-buy list.

Price reference: The toothbrush is 358 yen, the two replaceable heads are 408 yen

NO9 eyeliner

I accidentally bought three eyeliners There are different brands and types of pens. It turns out that I still like the one recommended to me by the drug store MM, so I will make an introduction based on three.

(In order to display it more clearly, I took off the cap. Maybe because of the lighting, the brand is not clear, I will list it)

Tips: This is the first time lz wears eyeliner, so I respect it If you don't have good control over the strength and angle of the eyeliner, the strength of the eyeliner will vary from right to left, depending on your proficiency.

The order is from right to left

The rightmost ESPRIQUE (Crayon Eyeliner)

Pen tip: round pen, smooth.

Color: relatively dark, easy to color, not easy to fade, but compared to the other two, it will still smear off if you rub your eyes or something.

Reason for recommendation: My favorite, because I am a novice in cosmetics. If you are also a novice, buy this one, because it is very easy to draw!!! Just like writing.

Price: 1944 yen

The red dejavulasting-line in the middle

This was the first one I bought, so I used it up.

Pen tip: A bit like an unsharpened pencil, like a straight pencil lead.

Color: quite dark.

Operation: It is more difficult to draw. If you are a beginner, it is not as easy to use as the first one, but as the name says, this one lasts a long time.

Price: 1,296 yen.

Leanani (waterproof liquid eyeliner) on the far left

This product won the COSEME Grand Prize, but I have not used it because it is water-based for painting, which is too difficult for beginners. But this one won’t fall off easily! It’s very suitable for heavy makeup!

1404 yen (71 yen cheaper with UnionPay card)

NO10 Kao Eye Mask

This is very popular in Greater China. After I went to Japan, I applied one before going to bed every day. If it feels hot, just heat it for 10 minutes. It also has its own fragrance. In fact, it is not as magical as the legend says. The effect is average. If you don't like to use eye drops, this is quite comfortable. But I feel that the price/performance ratio is really not very high. . .

Suitable for: before going to bed, when flying on an airplane or tram, or when your eyes are tired from looking at the computer for a long time.

Note that this thing is disposable. Later, many friends asked me. In fact, I personally feel that it is really not that magical. . . . The price/performance ratio is not very high.

NO11FXNEO モモクロ eye drops (not available in China)

These two packages are the same thing, please feel free to buy.

I brought this eye drop for a friend. Japanese eye drops are famous for not adding preservatives. I also used it myself and it really saved me a lot of effort in making strategies.

Feeling: Cool and refreshing, like putting ice on your eyes.

Target: Patients with office eye fatigue.

Usage: 1-2 drops at a time, 5-6 times a day

Price: 307 yen

Expiration: I bought it this year, and the shelf life is until 2016 November, about two years ago. You can add more if you like.

NO12ALLIE Sunscreen

Sorry, I’ve been very tired recently, so updates are a bit slow. Liz’s sister said that she must buy this product and not other cosmetics.

Because Hong Kong is out of stock, it is only sold in Japan. It is a rare item, but it may be very useful. In Japan, Lz was tanned directly to a wheat color before returning. Wow, summer is over.

I can only talk about my friends’ experiences: some people say it is shiny and a little oily. Not as good as the gold one. But I used it once or twice and it felt fine. Maybe it was because of other application.

I bought 1.5 times the amount, and I recommend it to girls who want to buy it! You should buy the same spray in an iron can, because you can spray it on your body, which is very convenient if the summer is over or it is not special. There is a plot, but it can be ignored, because most liquid foundations have sun protection functions. Reference price: 1965 yen

lz is so confused. In fact, I haven’t finished the list of cosmetics, but in fact, the cosmetics I haven’t tried all the types, so I’ll give you some of the medicines I’ve used. Because there are really many useful second-class medicines in Japanese drugstores, I will read them from beginning to end to compare them before using them. Oh, then take it without looking at the price

NO13キズアゥウ

Well, the Chinese character information above reveals how to use it ~ it is to use it for disinfection after washing it, and at the same time, use the foam Spray it on the wound, yes, this product is used to disinfect wounds and treat them! I bought it because I was injured in Japan, but it is really easy to use. Although it only has 50G, it can be used for a year and a half. Friendly Tip: Please shake it before use~ Price: Woohoo, my receipt disappeared like this, but I remember the price is between 1,000-1,500 yen. If you are in need, please come in!

NO14 Foam Isolation

Price: 3800 yen

This is a must-buy item that has become so popular that even Japanese articles recommend it. !The previous model is a different color.

Experience: It is very compliant and suitable for people who are oily. After using this product, the oil on my face will feel like it is burning~ and the very thin layer is very comfortable. It is especially good to use as a base makeup before foundation~ This product comes in two colors. The beige color is suitable for people who need a little more concealer. They have acne and need to cover it. The pink color is more suitable for people with fairer skin~

Shu Uemura's blush

Yes I bought it at the airport duty-free shop, so I forgot the exact price, but the makeup guru around me said it was highly recommended, saying that this slight pink color would actually make the skin look whiter, so, I bought it ~ Since Japanese cosmetics are now duty-free , so you don’t have to go to the duty-free shop to buy it! But if you buy this, the small box outside will cost money, so be sure to ask for one for her. Otherwise it will be inconvenient to use. Of course, you need to apply paint to use this. The 131 paint brush is quite good. It is sold in major drug stores (and there are gifts!!!). Unfortunately, there are no pictures here, but if I bought it for my sister, I would get sunscreen or lip gloss as a gift~ Kyoto Specialty Shopping Chapter

It’s not that the cosmeceuticals have been updated, but because I have never experienced cosmeceuticals. I believe everyone would like to see the experience, so I will update the Kyoto Specialty Shopping article first. The cosmeceuticals section will be updated together with the airport duty-free shop section later.

Yu Shou

This is the most commonly used souvenir. In the traditional Chinese sense, it is an amulet. Especially in Kansai, where there are many temples. If you are in a modern city like Tokyo in Kanto, there may be very few, but if you come to Kansai, where there are many temples, then this kind of thing has local characteristics. The types of protection include security, marriage, and good health, which vary according to the meaning of each temple. Each one costs about 300-500 yen. Japanese girls usually change their belts every year and go to temples to pray during the New Year. Some tourists even have the habit of collecting this.

Most of the guards are of this kind, which is also the most common.

It usually comes in a small package. This was brought to me by a friend before I went to Japan. I was very excited after receiving it. Generally, it has "Yusuo" written on the front, and the temple pattern on the back.

The following introduces you to some special styles of royal guards. Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine

The ones on both sides are qualified guards, and the one in the middle is the security guard who has suffered the disaster

The price is 500 yen.

In the Japanese sense, the examination evaluation standards are only divided into passing and failing. Passing is to express the best wishes for a smooth exam. Generally speaking, it seems more appropriate for a qualified omishou to go to Tenmangu Shrine throughout Japan to pray. Because Tenmangu Shrine in Japan is in charge of learning, but Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is so unique. That's what I chose. The unit price is 300 yen.

In addition, I bought a travel safety guard at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. I haven’t seen this anywhere else. I really like to put it in my luggage tag, haha.

The price is about 500 yen.

Some people complained that the Fox family was very prosperous and too commercialized, but they couldn't control it when they encountered these ingenious guards.

Intrusive Nara

The price is 500 yen.

This is not Kyoto, this is cute Nara, bought in Todaiji Temple! It seems that only a few small stores in Nara sell it, not all! So if it is difficult to find, go to Todaiji Temple. Big temple. All I can say is that in Nara, where people are showing off their cuteness everywhere, it’s really cool to make the guardian like this. You will continue to show off your cuteness to the end!!! Decisively buy it and give it to your sister.

Kyomono Kinugasa

Address: 5 Shitamachi, Ryoanji Goryo No., Ryoanji Goryo, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture

Transportation; get off at Ryoanji Station by bus.

I came to this store just to take shelter from the rain, and ended up shopping for an hour as if fascinated. This is my most highly rated store in Kyoto. If you want to bring gifts to your female friends at home, come here, come here, come here, you must come here! The things inside are cute, exquisite, and Japanese style. All kinds of coin purses and bags are definitely available for free, and of course the prices are not ordinary. When you buy something from their store, they will give you a postcard~ Because I love this store so much and found that China doesn’t introduce love very much, I turned to the Japanese website to translate it for everyone.

Introduction: Kyomono Kinugasa is a long-established shop for purchasing Kyoto-specific small gifts such as Kyoyuzen and Nishijin weaving. It was first famous for its twist box ("ねじりbox") made during the Heian period, which was used by women. The fragrances of perfumes change a lot, so you need to put these portable sachets into a unique twist box. This box is super convenient for storing things you carry with you. Others, such as Nishijin knitted pattern ties, Kyo (Shippo), Kyo elephant inlays and other small things with a strong Kyoto flavor, are very pleasing to the eye even if you don’t buy them.

It’s very expensive, and it’s a pain to calculate the price. I didn’t buy many beautiful shawls, and personalized bags and shoulder bags, which cost about 200-300 yuan in RMB, because they are too expensive. .

For more information about Nishijin weaving, you can read "Beautiful Pot of Kyoto's Elegance" and you will know how flawed this craft is.

This is one, I believe everyone can see o(_□_)o, which is equivalent to about 93 yuan in RMB. It’s really expensive, but I really like it. I use it as a passport bag. Am I wasting too much?

You can absolutely rest assured about the products in this store. Every item is Japanese style to the extreme, because I have also seen very cheap ones in other stores. They are obviously for tourists. Well, this store is still the same. It’s the first choice to give to friends who have good friendships or are high-end friends. The price and craftsmanship are really good. Even if you don’t buy it, it’s still very fun to shop inside, super happy. It's like visiting the Kyoto Arts and Crafts Museum. God knows why I would spend an hour wandering around a ten-square-meter place without wanting to leave.

Kiyomizu ware and various porcelain

Before going to Kyoto, I wanted to take back Kiyomizu ware. Kiyomizu-yaki, "Because it was produced in front of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, it was called Kiyomizu-yaki. Later, many famous kilns gathered nearby and the ceramics produced were collectively called "Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki". Matcha bowl_Japanese matcha tea set" ( Quoted from Baidu) especially seeing all kinds of beautiful pictures.

Only when I went there did I realize that the price of Kiyomizu-yaki is 3,000 yen plus, which is really heartbreaking. Unfortunately, this is a souvenir that can only be bought at Kiyomizu-dera Temple. In addition, the colors of Kiyomizu ware are relatively simple and elegant. After thinking about my wallet, and because I love rich colors, I later bought pottery from Shiga Prefecture.

What is this lump of porcelain used for? This is a beautiful bell. The Japanese should have an explanation for it, but I haven’t found it yet. Well, in 2033 Ban I bought it when I saw it. I really liked it. It cost about 600 yen. Later I found that it was cheaper than this one at Sanjusangendo.

loft

When it comes to buying stationery, many people will go to MUJI, but lfot is obviously more fun! It is a bit like the Japanese version of IKEA. It sells stationery, medicine, cosmetics, bedding, kitchenware, small household appliances, and green plants. , and these fun gadgets.

But you don’t have to worry when you come to this Yurakucho store, because it is a combination of MUJI and loft, and you can buy and buy it all.

Loft is available all over Japan. There are 26 branches in Tokyo itself. The following stores are a combination of muji and loft

Itoya, which has been operating since the Meiji era, is Japan's largest This is an old stationery store. The items range from simple and Japanese to very lively. The pattern correction stickers mentioned before are all here. The media also selects the best-selling stationery in Ito House every year, which shows the store's status among stationery stores. Several branches that are easy to find

This store is so famous. It specializes in retailing daily necessities. Its advertising slogan is "You will definitely find what you like when you go to Tokyu HANDS." However, it does have this confidence. It sells life here. Supplies, travel supplies, stationery, fashion miscellaneous goods, beauty products, as well as props, tools, materials for DIY, etc., are so-called "everything" in various categories. There are not enough stores to open in Japan, so they have even opened stores in Shanghai. Airport Shopping

I have written a lot of shopping guides before about what to buy and where to buy it. But I still get asked frequently by friends, is there an XX brand at the airport? If there is one, you don’t have to look around in the city center. OK, now let’s talk about what products are available at Japanese airports and what are worth buying. Japanese snacks are very cute and cute. Each box costs between RMB 80-150, making them perfect as souvenirs. Tokyo Banana, French Fries Brothers, Shiroi Koibito, Royce’s Pancakes, and Kyoto’s Yatsuhashi Pancakes are all classic souvenirs that can be purchased at any airport. Moreover, the shelf life of Japanese snacks ranges from 3 hours to 7 days. If you buy raw chocolate at the airport, they will be packed with ice to extend the shelf life.

In addition, at different airports, you can also buy limited-edition snacks in each region, such as Rokkatei at New Chitose Airport, Chicken Little at Tokyo Narita Airport, and Osaka at Kansai International Airport. Daikokuya and Kobe pudding. All in all, if you see cute snacks in Japan, just destroy them on the spot. If you take them back to your friends and family, the airport will basically satisfy you!

Note: The airport has a special shopping area for souvenirs. There will be more variety before the security check, but after the security check you can basically only buy classic models.

Settlement: If you still have some change in Japanese yen at this time, or if you still have a balance in your watermelon card (or icoca), you can spend it here.

Japanese airports also have a super rich selection of big-name cosmetics, and the discounts are very attractive. For example, the price of Kiehl's (Kiehl's) is lower than the legendary Beijing T3 Terminal, the cheapest.

Regarding brands, SKII, Dior, Lanc?me, Estee Lauder, Kiehl's, Kose, Shiseido are all available. However, there is no Albin, and the variety of Shu Uemura is not that complete. It is not as good as buying it in the department store in the city center. You can buy it in the duty-free area before boarding the plane. In some airports such as Narita, the cargo area is relatively large, so it is best to check the route in advance.

Japanese airports also have small shopping areas before security check, which are not cost-effective

*Small cosmetics, not as discounted as buying them together in the city center

*Small The workmanship of souvenir hangings is not exquisite, and many of them are made in China

*Japanese iron kettles, the workmanship is rough and the use value is not high

Japanese airports are also super rich, and the waiting time is not at all Not boring. In addition to various souvenir shops, Tokyo Narita Airport also has Travel Factory, which collects all kinds of literary and artistic travel supplies, such as travel notebooks, travel medals, and travel stamps. Some of them are limited editions and are not something you can just take away if you want to own them. . There is also a super cute Pokemon shop in Osaka Kansai International Airport, which is full of cute pets. New Chitose Airport is much more generous with cartoon characters. The huge Doraemon Museum is full of Doraemon peripherals. What’s even more interesting is that next to it is Rocye’s Chocolate Dream World, which is filled with chocolates and a robot meticulously demonstrates the chocolate making process.
