Some pharmacies are open all night, but not all pharmacies are open 24 hours a day.
The pharmacies we have been to mainly include Ito Matsumoto, Cauldron, Don Quixote (in fact, we should prefer grocery stores, where everything is available) and SUNDRUG. The last places to buy more things are cauldron and sundrug. Comparatively speaking, the prices of skin care products of these two companies are indeed more advantageous. The price of medicine seems to be similar.
If you want to buy some small things to send the elderly and children home, I suggest you go to Don Quixote. There are many things. You have found all kinds of HelloKitty around many people. However, it is recommended to look at the place of origin when buying. Many small toys are made in China.
Then the prices of chain pharmacies are somewhat different. Our habit is to shoot the price of what we want to buy, write down which store it is, and then go in and visit the pharmacy when we see it. If there is something much cheaper than what we saw before, we will buy it directly. If it's not much cheaper, we won't buy it first, and then we'll buy it together after we get the tax allowance ~
On our way around, the price difference of many masks is quite big. The same box of masks costs more than 800 yen for one store and more than 400 yen for another store to engage in activities. Price comparison is the key.
The counters and shopping malls are basically closed at around 8 o'clock and open at around 10 in the morning. So if you want to buy goods, you must pay attention to the time. We also had a day off at the mall. You can know the business hours in advance in official website, major shopping malls.
Because all the goods in the counter are official prices, nothing can compare with the price of the product itself.
The counter mainly compares the discounts of shopping malls. We visited Takashimaya, Matsuya Department Store, Daimaru Department Store and Matsuzaka Department Store, and basically found what we wanted to buy.
If you want a tax refund, you must pay it with the same person's credit card so that the tax refund can be made to the same person's name. The Japanese are still very serious about things. If you pay by credit card, he will definitely ask if your card and passport are the same.

Regarding the preferential policies and brand occupancy of various shopping malls, you can take a look at the official website of each store.
Takashimaya can get a 15% discount VIP card with a passport, which can be presented at all counters when checking out.
Our card was taken in Takashimaya, Yokohama. The card face is HelloKitty, very cute ~
The usage rules are written on the back of the card. If you spend more than 3,000 yen on a single purchase, you can get a 5% discount when you show this card.
In addition, I recommend a software that I think is quite useful, called Jessica's Secret.
Many stores in Japan can get electronic coupons, and you can also check the prices of some goods in some stores ~
In addition to going to Japan, the prices of many duty-free shops in many parts of the world can be found in the software. Personally, I think it is still very useful.
