Japan has all sorts of luxury brand items for sale,

and many times you put off buying things
just in case you find a better deal elsewhere.
However when you get to the airport,
and you realize it's too late because by that time
you are more concerned with getting to your gate and catching your flight.
It's a shame because normally the only place you can get duty free prices
are at airports.
Which is why JAPANKURU wants to introduce an IN CITY duty-free store
that you can easily find in the fashion capital, Ginza.
LOTTE makes it super easy for you to purchase duty-free brand products when you travel in Tokyo and even offers super discounts from time to time.

Also it's SUPER important to mention,
even if you live in Japan,
you can get duty-free deals here!!!
So if you live here and are thinking that this article doesn't relate to you,
don't give up so quickly, because it does!!!

The LOTTE Duty Free Ginza store is located at the Sukiyabashi intersection
and is known as the largest duty-free store in Tokyo!

Duty-Free Shopping in Tokyo

Opening in 2016, the landmark TOKYU PLAZA GINZA is a glitzy sophisticated commercial facility aimed at the younger generation.
Normally the rooftop garden is the must-see spot but
on the 8th and 9th floors, you'll find an airport-type duty-free shop.
The LOTTE Duty Free store is separated into two floors,international and Japanese cosmetics on the 9th floor and
accessories and clothing boutiques on the 8th.

9TH FLOOR PRODUCTS

Like mentioned above,
you'll find a lot of international name brand beauty products.
Some you may have heard of before, some you may see for the first time.

One popular Western brand you'll find, for example, is a British fragrance brand,
Jo Malone.

Shiseido is sold worldwide so you may think that it isn't necessary to buy anything from those type of brands.
However, you are VERY likely to find "limited in Japan" products for sale here.
For example Shiseido's new 24h Defense Mist Duo.A travel size moisturizing spray that uses the power of a skincare cream without the sticky after effect you may get with other high moisturizers.

There are limited country bottle designs,
and Japan is one of the few that has their own cute design
created by Japanese contemporary artist, ShiShi Yamazaki.

TAX FREE ZONE

For reference, the 9th floor also has a corner called the "TAX FREE ZONE"
which is different from duty-free.
It may seem self-explanatory to some,
but many people actually get them mixed up.
So just a small explanation differing the two:
➤DUTY FREE is to be exempted from all taxes
(normally you won't find duty-free shops inside the city, only at airports)
➤TAX FREE is to be exempt mainly from consumption tax
(can find tax-free stores all over Tokyo)

So in this section, you won't have to pay Japan's 8% tax
on items such as cosmetics, medicine, Japanese tea, and more.

These things you can also get inside the city,
but if you're already there you might as well check it out and save time!

EVENT ZONE

This corner, the EVENT ZONE, is a place where items are on sale
because newer lines from that brand have recently come out.
So here you get an even bigger deal,
gettings a discount on top of the duty-free price!

To be more specific, when a new product is just about to arrive but
because of the more recently introduced items,
there isn't any extra display space.
So rather than just getting rid of these perfectly good and new items,
they move the inventory over to be sold at a lower price.

HOW TO GET DUTY-FREE

The process of getting duty-free is really simple,
just PLEASE be sure to have your passport and ticket (or E-ticket) on hand.
Above we mentioned that even if you live in Japan you can get this deal,
and you can!
As long as you have proof that you are departing Japan you are fine.

Once you make your purchase(s),
you'll receive an Exchange Ticket.
Be sure to hold on to it until your departure because
there is a chance you may not get your purchased items at the airport.
You will pick up your things at the Duty Free Pickup Counter
at Narita or Haneda Airport.

*The services are only available from those two airports

you'll find a lounge that is open to guests
that want to take a break and just relax for a bit.
