Some pharmacies are open all night, but not all pharmacies are open 24 hours a day.
The pharmacies I have been to mainly include Ito Matsumoto, Cauldron, Don Quixote (in fact, I should prefer grocery stores to have everything) and Sun Pharmaceutical. Finally, I bought a lot of things in big countries 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 something to send the old people and children home, I suggest going to Don Quixote. There are quite a lot of things. You have discovered all kinds of HelloKitty environments, and many people are fascinated by them. 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 first, write down which store it is, and then go shopping when we see the drugstore. If it's much cheaper than what we saw before, we'll 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 shopping, 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. Price comparison is the key.
cosmeceuticals shop
The mall basically closes around 8 o'clock and opens around 10 am. So if you want to go shopping, you must pay attention to the time. We also had a day off at the shopping center. You can know the business hours in advance in official website and major shopping malls.
Because the goods in the counter are official prices, the prices of the products themselves are not comparable.
The counter is mainly to compare shopping mall discounts. I visited Takashimaya, Matsuya Department Store, Otaru Department Store and Matsuzaka Department Store, and basically found what I wanted to buy.
If you want to refund the tax, you must pay 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 you if the card and passport have the same name ~
Regarding the preferential policies and brand share of various shopping malls, you can have a look at official website in various shopping malls.
Takashimaya can get a 15% discount VIP card with his passport, which can be presented at all counters when checking out.
Our card was found in Takashimaya, Yokohama, with HelloKitty on it, 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 50% discount when you show this card.
In addition, I recommend a software that I find very useful. It's called Jessica's secret.
You can receive electronic coupons from many shops in Japan, and you can also check the prices of some goods in some shops ~
Besides 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.
Special counter
Fashion trends in Japan are changing rapidly, and clothing brands are extremely rich. Both the student party and the white-collar workers can find their own brands here, and people who like shopping will not be disappointed. In addition to style, wearing comfort is also a major selling point of Japanese clothing, with good quality, which is the favorite of tourists who pursue cost performance.
Generally speaking, Japanese clothing has two price tags: the price of the clothing itself and the price including tax. You need to add up the two prices when you buy them.
Where can I buy Japanese clothes?
There are large shopping malls or department stores in Tokyo's popular business district, and you can choose brand fashion clothes. In addition, some independent shops and second-hand retro shops (medieval shops) often find unique costumes.
Most Japanese retro shops are concentrated in Omotesando Hills Mountain, Shimonoseki Tianze, Harajuku and other places, many of which are hidden in deep alleys and need to be searched.
Tokyo defeated women's clothing brand recommendation
In fact, these brands are found in many cities in China. The most important reason why it is strongly recommended to buy in Japan is that the price in Tokyo is lower, usually 30% off or even 50% off.
Although it can be seen everywhere in China, the price in Japan is about 20% or even lower than that in China, and the styles are richer than that in China. Uniqlo has the world's largest Ginza flagship store in Tokyo, and Haneda Airport has the most favorable price.

China people bought them in Japan, as well as ethnic snacks such as Mushroom Mountain and Sunzi Village. There are so many kinds that people who are usually decisive can't help but suffer from the phobia of choice.
