Uniqlo JP and PH, same price, depende na lang pag nag sale. Mas mura talaga pag nataon mo na sale dito sa Pinas, pero regular priced items, same lang. 🤗

Make sure to bring a passport if you purchase over 10000 yen (not sure if it's 10001 or 11000 yen) before tax to buy from Uniqlo tax-free. Sister company niya na GU is also okay.

agree about gu.
dun kami bumili ni husband ng mga damit nung nasa japan kame.
parang same quality naman sya ni uniqlo pero mas mura. kase when we were converting prices sa uniqlo dun parang same lang sa pinas. pero sa gu we got pants for 500 then tops for 250 and less pa.

^ thanks!

[missgoodvibe]

Mura nga sa GU. May nabili ako 190Yen na sweater so that's around 80-90pesos lang. Lol. Sa Shibuya GU ako nakabili, sale kasi nun.

Tapos sa H&M, total of 15pcs of clothing plus 1 sandals and 1boots nasa 8500Yen. May discount kasi na 8% if you show your passport, magiging tax-free. H&M Odaiba naman to.

Has anyone been to Yunessun Spa Resort in Hakone and Zao Miyagi Fox Village? Gusto kasi ng daughter ko mavisit and I was wondering if worth the time and cost of transpo. Thank you!

We opted for an AirBnb sa 10-day trip namin this Nov. Pag sa mismong downtown parang hotel price lang din. So yung binook kong listing e bahay na mga 55 mins away the center. Keri na kasi malapit naman train station sa house na yun. Ang natipid ko ay around two thirds (vs hostel price). Laking savings rin. Kinompute ko rin yung pamasahe nung nagchecheck ako ng listing-- half pa rin matitipid. Much comfy rin vs capsule.

My apologies if this was already discussed pero saan kaya pinaka-okay bumili ng pre-loved luxury bags sa Tokyo? Do these stores accept credit/debit cards? Thank you.

Question:

I will be in tokyo this week and I heard na 110v daw ang mga saksakan doon even in hotels. Is this true? Im worried kasi of how will I charge my gadgets 1 week ako doon. Please help. Thanks!

[ayami]

^ Hi it will work naman most adaptors ang range ay 100v to 240v, in that case pasok si 110v and 220v natin sa Pinas. Check mo muna yung nakaindicate pero mostly ganyan lalo pag sa phones

[candygrenade]

^^ to be safe, bring an adaptor. I always bring one or two for my styling appliances

[brandi]

Thanks guys!

Will look for a universal adaptor na lang at ace hardware.

Aside from Ameyokocho and Nakamise-dori, saan pa merong medyo murang shopping areas sa Tokyo? Yung parang mga night market sa Taiwan. Mahal kasi 'pag mall. Thank you!

It's not a night market sis but I had fun shopping in Ikebukuro recently. It's the area where we stayed din kasi. There are 24-hour stores in Ikebukuro that have cheap cosmetics and chocolates. Sobrang sale din sa GU (Uniqlo's cousin daw). I bought high-quality knit pullovers from 590 to 990 yen. Some were 390 yen pa. The area's Sunshine City (a shopping complex) has stalls that offer super sale items too.
