Shopping in Japan cannot be done carelessly. This is because Japan has a shopping culture that is slightly different from Indonesia or other Asian countries. In this article, we will share some tips that you can do, especially when shopping in Japan later. Here are some tips to consider!

Don't Be Shy to Enter a Store, Even If It's Just to Browse

In Indonesia, we usually feel shy to enter a store just to browse. This does not apply when you are in Japan. There, you are welcome to enter a store, even if it's just to look at the items.

Even if you are just browsing, you will still receive the best service from the store staff there. Store staff in Japan are generally very friendly, even to visitors who only want to look around. 

They are more than willing to provide detailed information about the items in their store. In fact, they are also willing to guide visitors around every corner of the store and escort them to the exit.

Never Bargain for Prices

Unlike in Indonesia, you will never be able to bargain for prices when shopping in Japan. Stores in Japan usually have fixed prices for their items.

However, you don't need to worry. Some stores in Japan also offer discounts on their items. Not only that, there are some items in Japan that can still be negotiated, such as antiques and electronic devices.

Don't Hesitate to Ask for Opinions from Store Staff

If you want to buy clothes in Japan, don't hesitate to ask the store staff for their opinion. Ask them which clothes might suit your body shape.

Later, the store staff will inform you which clothes are suitable for you. By the way, store staff (especially in fashion stores) in Japan have received special licenses. Therefore, they can understand which clothes are suitable for their customers.

Don't Try on Clothes Carelessly

This tip is also related to shopping for clothes. Unlike in Indonesia, you cannot try on clothes you want to buy carelessly. This is because not all stores in Japan allow trying on clothes first, and not all stores have dressing rooms. 

If you want to try on clothes, you can ask for permission from the store staff there. If you are allowed, then you can do it. If not, don't worry. You can follow the previous tip, which is to ask the store staff about which clothes are suitable for you.

Don't Hesitate to Request Gift Wrapping Services

If you want to shop for souvenirs, don't hesitate to ask the store staff for wrapping services. Some souvenir stores in Japan usually offer free wrapping services to customers.

Although it's free, the wrapping service provided is not done carelessly. The souvenirs you have purchased will be wrapped in nice wrapping paper that matches the store's brand. Interesting, right?

Shopping in Japan cannot be done carelessly. This is because Japan has a shopping culture that is slightly different from Indonesia or other Asian countries. Therefore, you must follow the shopping tips in Japan that we have mentioned above.
