Should I buy stuff at Costco while in Japan? |
Travel Info Stuff such as sake, rice cakes, etc. Travel Tips I havent noticed a big price difference among Japanese manufactured goods. ( I go to Costco every month) If you want sake, rice cakes and other Japanese foods, you should checkout a local supermarket (for the rice cakes) or discount shops like "Liquer Mountain" or "Japan" for alcohol. They have weekly specials on different sakes and the prices are pretty good. Also, I noticed Costco doesnt carry a wide variety of Japanese sake, so your choices will be limited. You should definitely stay away from "hyakaten" department stores ie; Kintetsu, Takashimaya, Daimaru, Matsuzakaya, Seibu, Tobu, etc... as they sell the same goods at an inflated price. Good shopping! Others Sure if you need a lot of that stuff. I live in Japan and I love shopping at Costco. yes why not definitely. If its cheap and you want the item then go for it! It definitely does pay to shop around in Japan though - shops can vary greatly in price for the same item. http://www.mustseesights.com Costco is cheap and the quality reasonable you could do a lot worse here in Japan. Overall Japan is a great place to shop. I live in Japan |
