No.145 The duty-free shop at Akihabara

(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).

DUTY FREE SHOP


It is an electric town if saying Akihabara. In case of being, as the town which treats all the electric appliance, the excursionist comes from all over the world and that Japan makes triumphant buys a Japanese product with high quality. When walking at Akihabara, it well makes the foreigner who is visited from the all the countries eyes, but it sees the reverse of the product, it sees the display which is not "Madein JAPAN" and it must sometimes disappoint, too.
There are many places to be establishing the duty-free shop which targetted such a foreigner in each large-sized electrical appliance store by which its "HASATEO" comes and it has a store at Akihabara. There is a shop (to be a small building even if) it does a building whole (and it is necessary but) for it to make the whole building a duty-free shop, too, and it can experience the feelings as it went to the foreign country just like. The price tag, too, becomes the notation of English and Chinese and so on. At present, the included tax included display of the excise is obligated for but here, it becomes the excluding tax display (in other words, are the display of the duty-free amount of money) which excluded 5% of excises.
Then, the more interesting place in the duty-free shop is the place where the floor where the Japanese culture can be fully enjoyed exists which handles a Japanese doll and a Japanese folding fan, a T-shirt in Tokyo, a yukata and clothing and so on though it is an electric town. It makes feel that the identity as the Japanese is "is it such a Japanese "TUTE" image !" once more. It is the place which becomes any mysterious atmospheres. Of course, because the Japanese, too, vote, it is funny when attempting to set foot once by all means.
