I was tricked by a Chinese tour guide, but I was not tricked, but many people in the group were tricked. I will tell you what happened, and please pay attention to those who are traveling in Japan with a group. We participated in the 8-day tour of Japan organized by Guangzhou Travel Group, and Guangzhou Travel Group sent a tour guide to accompany us throughout the entire trip. The Japanese escort is a young man from Jilin who has a Japanese green card and is in his 30s. The first 6 days were very good, and we followed the itinerary plan. On the afternoon of the 7th day, the young man from Jilin said that this is your last shopping opportunity. We will fly to Guangzhou early tomorrow morning, so in the last 2 hours, we will take you to a store with a small shop for household use. Electrical appliances, health care medicines, household necessities, etc. are of high quality and low price, and are very popular among domestic tourists. He also gave an example that many tourists contacted him to purchase on their behalf after returning home. When we entered, it was on the fifth floor of a building. There was only one door for entry and exit. There were no casual customers. It was a shopping mall specially opened for tourist groups. I immediately understood that it was a place opened by the Chinese to prey on domestic tourists, so I held my pocket tightly and said nothing. However, some middle-aged and elderly members bought medicines, rice cookers and other products worth tens of thousands of yuan. The price is more than 30% more expensive than other shopping malls in Japan. (I went out to large and small supermarkets in Japan at night, so I know the prices.) Therefore, I would like to advise all my friends to be especially careful with stores opened by overseas Chinese, closed stores with no free entry and exit for individual customers!

There are no pitfalls in traveling. No matter how detailed the guide is, you will inevitably get tricked

When it comes to shopping, I must talk about Osaka. Shopping in Osaka is actually a pitfall. There are still some.

The pitfall mentioned here is the price, because there are actually no fakes in Japan, so there is no need to worry about this. However, when you go shopping in Osaka, you must check the approximate price in advance, otherwise it will be really annoying. .

The store with generally higher prices is Don Quixote, because it is a 24-hour duty-free shop. As you know, shopping malls in Japan basically close around 8:00 or 9:00, so you can play all day long until night. I will definitely choose Don Quixote when I want to find a way to buy, but I must look at the price clearly

Snake venom eye mask, I saw it at Don Quijote for 6500 yen, and in that store I saw 6000 yen Japanese yen, black snake venom is 5,000 yen, so I bought a box! Here comes the key point. Turn left after exiting this store. It’s about 15 meters away. It’s called Yipintang. It’s also full of rice masks. I went in and took a look, and that’s it! I saw their snake venom eye mask, the red one is 3800 yen and the black one is 3500 yen! At this distance of only 15 meters, the price difference for a box of eye masks is 1,500 yen, about 100rmb! Tears welled up in my eyes at that time. Then in order to save myself from losing money, I decisively bought another box to balance the price.

What’s even more frightening is that they only sell umbilical cord blood essence for 5,000. Japanese yen... The salesperson told me that it was sold at Daikoku Drug Store for 15,000 yen. Some customers were shocked when they saw the price when they walked in. The truth is, I went to another store next door and they sold it for 4,500 yen. Fortunately, I didn’t need it and didn’t buy it! If you don’t buy it, you’ll earn it!

Then I bought a box of Yuewei eye mask at Yipindo. This is also difficult to buy. It is not available in many drug stores. It costs 5,000 yen. Later I saw it at the Durg Store in Shinsaibashi. The purchase is limited to 1 box, only 4,200 yen, I shed tears when I knew the truth

(Yipintang cannot accept credit cards)

Bloody lessons tell us that we must pay attention to buying these luxury skin care products and cosmetics If you compare prices carefully and go to small stores, you can find a lot of things that you can't buy at counters and chain drugstores. The prices of big-name beauty care products in drugstore chains are almost the same, so you can compare the prices at small shops in the alleys. The difference is really big! As for the facial mask, the difference is only a few tens of yen, so it’s not that heartbreaking. The difference can easily be thousands of yen, so be sure to keep your eyes open! I would rather walk a few more steps and take a look!

Shopping in Japan is a scam. Usually tour guides bring them to shops owned by Chinese people. Stores run by Japanese are very well behaved.

Go to a local large shopping mall and the prices are clearly marked.

I go to Japan often, maybe twice a year. My personal suggestion is first of all, don’t go with a group. If you must go with a group, don’t believe any sales promotions the tour guide says. Try not to go to the so-called duty-free shops that the tour guide takes you to. They are all owned by Chinese people. If you must go to a custom shop, be prepared to spend a lot of money. In Japan, the Chinese are the most tricked people...

I don’t know if it counts as a trick, but it is definitely a typical example of Japanese people going too far with euphemism

At that time, a friend came to Kyoto to visit me. When it was almost dinner time, my friend said that he wanted to eat barbecue, so we chose a delicious-looking barbecue restaurant and went in.

At first, the clerk told us, "It's full, so we might have to wait outside for a while." After six or seven minutes, seeing us still waiting outside, he came out and said, "We'll have to wait half a hour." It’s more than an hour, are you sure you want to wait?” We said it’s okay to wait, but we still didn’t leave. After another five minutes, the clerk came out and told us helplessly that this barbecue restaurant requires a reservation. We can’t go in without making a reservation. of.

Why can’t you just say it?

Why can’t you just say it!

orz... Anyway, I was convinced. Later, because it was almost dinner time, I walked several streets to find a barbecue restaurant with seats.

With the hotel, the rest is dining. Basically, the menu has pictures. If it doesn't work, you can take a picture and translate it, but the English is not very popular, and the accent is too strong, so it is not easy to understand.

Japan is very honest in doing business. Those who were cheated were those who were in tour groups. The tour guides took them to the so-called duty-free shops opened by the Chinese, which were designed to deceive the Chinese.

Last June It was my first time to go to Nippori. My first stop was Tokyo, where I stayed in Nippori for 5 days and Hotel Nikko Tokyo Bay in Odaiba for 2 days. I was tricked and deceived at the checkout at a beach convenience store near Odaiba. I paid for the subway at Nippori Subway Station because I was not familiar with the terrain. I got stuck and wanted to come out from the east gate. I was sent to the office by a male subway staff member who didn't understand and had a bad attitude. Of course, I also met some friendly Japanese people who helped me

The stores opened by Japanese people are very unconventional and very special. The store in the pit was also taken by a Chinese tour guide. Japan is the most worthy country for tourists to travel.
