Japan tourist pit
I was set up by a tour guide in China, but I was not trapped, but many people in the group were trapped. Let me tell you what happened, please pay attention to my friends who are traveling with the group in Japan. We took part in the 8-day tour of Japan organized by Guangzhi Tour, which was accompanied by a tour guide. The Japanese local escort is a young man from Jilin who has a Japanese green card and is in his thirties. The first six days were good, and we followed the itinerary. On the afternoon of the seventh day, the young man from Jilin said that this was your last shopping opportunity, and he was going to fly to Guangzhou early tomorrow morning, so I took you to a store in the last two hours, with small household appliances, health care drugs, household necessities, etc., which were inexpensive and well received by domestic tourists. And for example, many tourists contact him for purchasing after returning home. We went in, it was the fifth floor of a building, and there was only one door in and out, and there were no idle customers, which was a shopping mall specially opened for tour groups. I immediately understood that it was a place set up by China people to slaughter domestic tourists, so I covered my pockets and didn't talk. However, some middle-aged and elderly members bought tens of thousands of yuan of medicines, rice cookers and other commodities. The price is more than 30% more expensive than other shopping malls in Japan. (I went out to visit Japanese supermarkets in the evening, so I know the price.) Therefore, I advise all my friends to be especially careful about the shops opened by foreign China people and closed shops where no individual can enter and leave freely!
How can you travel without taking a pit? Even if the strategy is done carefully, it will inevitably be pitted.
In terms of shopping, Osaka must be mentioned here. In fact, there are still some shopping pits in Osaka.
The pit mentioned here is the price, because there are no fakes in Japan, so don't worry about it, but you must check the approximate price in advance when you go shopping in Osaka, otherwise it will be really annoying.
Generally, the store with higher price is Don Quixote, because the duty-free shops open 24 hours a day and Japanese shopping malls basically close around 8: 00 or 9: 00. You will definitely choose Don Quixote when you want to buy it in buy buy all day, but you must look at the price clearly.
Snake venom eye mask, I saw 6500 yen in Don Quixote, 6000 yen in that shop, and 5000 yen in black snake venom, so I bought a box! Here comes the point. Turn left from this store, about 15 meters. It's called yi pin Hall, and it's also filled with rice masks. So I went in and took a look, just this one! I saw their snake venom eye mask, red 3800 yen, black 3500 yen! At this distance of 15 meters, a box of eye mask is 1500 yen, about 100rmb! At that time, my tears were spinning in my eyes, and then in order not to lose too much, I decisively bought another box and neutralized the price.
What's even more frightening is that their umbilical cord blood essence only sells for 5,000 yen ... The salesperson told me that it sells for 15,000 yen in a big country drug store. Some customers collapsed on the spot when they entered the door. In fact, I went to another store next door, and people sold for 4,500 yen. Fortunately, I didn't need it and didn't buy it! If you don't buy, you earn!
Then I bought a box of Yuewei eye mask at yi pin Hall, which is also difficult to buy. Many drugstores don't have it, at 5,000 yen. Later, I saw it at Durg Store in Xinsaiqiao, and I was limited to one box, at 4,200 yen. I cried when I knew the truth.
(yi pin Hall can't swipe your card)
The lesson of blood tells us that we must carefully compare the prices when buying these luxury skin care products and cosmetics. Small shops also go in and have a look, and we can find many things that can't be bought in counters and chain drugstores. The big-name beauty care prices of chain cosmeceuticals are almost the same, so the small shops in the alley can compare the prices, which will really be much worse! Mask, in fact, is also a few tens of yen, not so heartache, these easily thousands of yen difference must keep your eyes open! I'd rather walk a few more steps to have a look!
Shopping in Japan was cheated. Generally, the tour guides take them to the shops opened by China people. Japanese shops are very disciplined.
Go to the local shopping mall, and the price is clearly marked.
Go to Japan often, twice a year. Personally, first, don't go with the tour group. If you do, don't believe any sales promotion said by the tour guide. Try not to go to the so-called duty-free shops that the tour guide takes you to, which are all opened by Chinese people. Be prepared to spend a lot of money if you must go to a custom shop. Japanese people cheat the most ...
I don't know if it is a pit, but it is definitely a typical example of Japanese euphemism.
At that time, a friend came to Kyoto to play with me. When it was almost time for dinner, my friend said that I wanted to eat barbecue, so we chose a barbecue restaurant that looked delicious.
At first, the clerk told us that "the room is full, so we may have to wait outside for a while." After six or seven minutes, when we were still waiting outside, we came out and said, "It will take more than half an hour. Are you sure you want to wait?" We said it didn't matter if we waited, but we didn't leave. It was another five minutes before the clerk came out and told us helplessly that this barbecue shop was reserved, and there was no way to go in directly without an appointment.
Why can't you just say it?
Why can't you just say it!
Orz…… ... Anyway, I took it. Later, because I arrived at the meal completely, I walked several blocks before I found a barbecue restaurant with seats.
At present, Japan recommends traveling alone, not with a group. Japan's rail transit is very developed, and you can basically visit mainstream scenic spots and shopping shrines. The characters are mostly Chinese characters, which are basically understandable. You can book air tickets and hotels in China, and the rest is dining. Basically, the menu has pictures, which is really impossible to shoot and translate, but the English popularization is not very good, and the accent is too strong to understand.
Japanese business is very honest. Those who are cheated are all with tour groups. The tour guides take those so-called duty-free shops opened by China people to cheat China people.
Last June, I went to Niigata for the first time. I stayed in Tokyo for two days at Nikko Hotel in Tokyo Bay on the 5th floor of Niigata. I was cheated in the beach convenience store near Niigata. I paid for the subway card at Niigata subway station because I was unfamiliar with the terrain. I wanted to get out of the east gate, but I was sent to the office by the male subway staff who didn't understand and had a bad attitude. Of course, I also met Japanese people who helped me with friendly countries.
The shops opened by the Japanese are unconventional, and the shops with pits are also brought by tour guides in China. Japan is a country most worthy of tourists to visit.
Nowadays, more and more people from China travel and shop in Japan, but because they don't know Japanese, many people are tricked into the trap by Chinese black tour guides. There are two main "shopping traps" in Japan: one is that tour guides sell so-called "healthy food" and "new technology products" in cars. As can be seen from a product introduction and price list provided by people in the industry, there are many kinds of products, including cosmetics, small appliances, health care products, nutrition products, etc. The price is several times higher than the purchase price, and nearly 10 times more. Second, tourists buy goods that are visible in the Japanese market, but tour guides try their best to prevent tourists from buying in general stores, but take tourists to a remote and little-known "duty-free shop" to buy. The prices of these so-called duty-free shops are often five times the market prices of similar goods.

This kind of chaos is getting worse, and I can't stand it for days. Recently, Japan's TBS TV station went deep into Ginza and Shinjuku, uncovering the inside story of black tour guides.
The following is an excerpt from the live report of TBS TV:
Behind the China tourists' buying spree, unqualified "black tour guides" are secretly active. Its technique is to forcibly promote high-priced goods, which is also called "fraudulent marketing". We witnessed the "black tour guide" wandering among China tourists at the scene.
On July 18th, we tried to contact "a person". The other party specifies Ginza. Although it is morning, there are already many tourists from China in the street. A man from China appeared. Although he is not qualified as a tour guide, he once worked as a translation tour guide, the so-called "black tour guide".
How do black tour guides cheat tourists?
〝 Join hands with duty-free shops to let customers buy things and make huge profits. 〞 The black tour guide took out a business report of the duty-free shop.
Enzyme, this is healthy food. 〞
〝 It sold 111,000 yen (about 28,000 NT/5,560 RMB) and gave the tour guide a rebate of 36,000 yen (about 9,000 NT/1,800 RMB). "Black guide said.
The rebate for high-priced healthy food is 30% of the selling price.
The more guests buy, the more tour guides naturally earn.
Mount Fuji is a symbol of Japan, symbolizing wealth and health. 〞
"The guests are convinced."
〝 〝 〝 〞 〞 〝 〝 〝 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 〞 1
TBS TV interviewed a victim woman in Beijing. She once took a five-day tour of Japan with her friends.
The tour guide said that you don't have to buy anything else when you come to Japan, but you should definitely buy healthy food. 〞
The woman said that the tour guide sold her a healthy food, saying that this healthy food is not only good for the skin, but also prolongs life.
A bottle of 24,000 yen is said to be "a famous Japanese product".
The woman bought two bottles, and there were guests who bought 50 bottles ...
〝 I investigated after I returned to China, and I was not famous at all. "The woman said.
TBS interviews in Shinjuku street ...
Shinjuku? kabukichou
The streets are full of buses.
A China tourist said: It has already spent 800-1 million yen (200-250,000 Taiwan dollars/40,000-50,000 RMB).
Q: Did you buy healthy food? 〞
A: 〝 (I heard) Japanese people live long after drinking this. 〞
It cost about 200,000 yen (50,000 NT/10,000 RMB).
Health food "explosive buying"
How do tourists see the efficacy of healthy food ...
Nowadays, many children in China are always distracted ...
This can be treated. 〞
(Black Tour Guide) 〝 Almost fraudulent persuasion, come up with all kinds of tricks. 〞
Why is there such chaos? This is mainly related to the ecology of Japanese tourism industry. Due to the vicious competition in the industry, Japanese reception agencies have lowered the price of receiving China tour groups, or accepted tours at a loss price. Previously, a travel agency launched the "Japan Golden Tour Route for 5 Nights and 6 Days", and the price of the tour project from Tokyo to Kyoto and Osaka was only over 3,000 yuan (15,000 Taiwan dollars), far below the actual cost. Of course, the travel agency will not bear the "loss-making" part by itself. In the end, it will try to find a way to get back from the tourists and make a profit. This makes it an inevitable choice for tour guides to induce tourists to shop at high prices. According to the estimation of relevant Japanese institutions, there are thousands of tour guides who receive China tourists in Japan, most of whom are "unlicensed tour guides".
