Shopping is one of delight during traveling. But a budget is always with shopping. So now it’s time to use secret power of your passport to get a good deal!!!
Have you seen this sign before?
This is the sign for Tax-free. If you can find this sign at the shop that you visit in Tokyo, you can buy items without consumption tax. Nowadays, many shops have this sign. I’ve found it even at guitar shop.
Let’s Read More The Sign
Let’s take a look the sign more carefully. You can find more good information sometimes. Look at this photo. There is another sign.
WiFi!? No. Yeah, it’s rare that you can use WiFi at department store in Japan.
Back to topic. There is the sign that mean you can get 5% discount more. This is amazing.
As you see they have an additional good offer. What you can get it depends on the store. So let’s check the sign carefully or try to ask to shop staff 😉
Let’s Read More The Sign Again
There is one thing you must know before show your passport. When you’ve found that sign, let’s read carefully one more time. There might be a condition whether you can get those discount or not. The condition is different each store. Some stores have no condition to use however you buy. Other stores have condition; e.g, You get the discount if you buy $50 or more.
Where is the sign usually
Shops show the sign in front of the shop usually. And they also often show it near cashier area so check it out. Especially tiny clothing shop have also discount for foreigners sometimes but they don’t show it clearly or big enough. So check near cashier is the good way to find it. You can ask it to shop staff is also the good way, even if you couldn’t find it.
Enjoy shopping at Japan
I hope you’ll get some good deal in Japan.
See you next 😉
