    I live in Japan and am also a Photographer. One thing that your cost comparison did not account for was the VAT, which is currently at 10%. The only way to pay what you see is if you have visiting VISA. Most shops charge you the VAT and then you have to go to the VAT counter to get the refund. This is definitely something you need to consider when doing cost comparison.

    I made a conscious effort to shop at bic camera and yodobashi during my visit between 11 Oct 2019 and 21 October 2019 - unfortunately most of the items really come to be consistently higher priced than where I am (Singapore). For my list, I was looking at a7riv, camera grip, camera bags.. It was not cheaper when I factor in the tax-less, tourist discount and card discount.

  • @larrykay6606
    @larrykay6606 Před 4 lety +1

    Prices used to be cheaper but that was years ago. Nowadays with our global economy you don't get a deal buying Japanese products in Japan. But I will say BIC Camera and Yodobashi Camera has every camera, lens, camera bag, filter, tripod, accessory, etc etc that you could want. You want a camera strap? They'll have a small wall covered with them!

  • @laurentmagnin673
    @laurentmagnin673 Před 4 lety +1

    I did notice last June when I visited the usual large camera stores (Yodobashi & Bic カメラ) that their camera sections are smaller than in the past (20 or even 10 years ago). Instead of full floors, they are now shared with other commodities. It was possible to find there every kind of photographic equipment (like your lens hood), but not anymore... You have now to go online.

  • @littlepapercrane2004
    @littlepapercrane2004 Před 4 lety

    Oh yeah, no, most camera equipment (and other consumer goods) prices are on par with US prices. Last year, I was in Osaka for a business trip and I stopped at a Yotobashi Camera store to shop for a new camera strap. I was looking for a camera strap that I could wear short/at chest level or extend so that I could wear it cross-body when I'm on the move. Most stores near my home in the US and online through US retailers only sold straps that attached to the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera, but I wanted a strap that attached at the sides of the camera (making it easier and less prone to swing around when wearing it cross-body). So, I found the perfect camera strap in a burgundy color at Yotobashi Camera (~$28 USD) and bought it. A year later, I was curious to see if I could find the same strap in black online, but none of the major retailers had this particular strap and brand in stock. I thought I had missed the opportunity to get that camera strap in a second color, but I didn't have a way to get back to Japan in the near future. I was able to find it through a seller on Ebay and he was charging $30 USD with free shipping. To conclude, I didn't save much money by buying the same item in Japan.
