The yen has depreciated, and the exchange rate has hit a new low in more than 20 years. Have you exchanged it? Even if you are not interested in foreign currency investment and don’t know if it is worth buying, many mothers and friends around you have already started buying them. The reason is very simple. Although it may not be time to travel to Japan to scan the goods, it must be a once-in-a-lifetime online shopping savings in Japan. Good time for money!

As of the date of writing, the exchange rate of the yen has fallen to a new low of 6 to regarding HK$5.74 per 100 yen. Those of us who have experienced 10 yen are of course very surprised, and then laughed together: “If you don’t exchange it now, when will you wait?” Don’t worry regarding whether it will continue to fall in the future, or whether it will be expensive to buy now, because even if you go shopping with the exchange rate of 6, it is already very worthwhile to buy.
1) Fashion online shopping
Whether mothers buy shirts, pants, shoes and socks to dress up, or children buy clothes, supplies, and toys, it is cheaper than buying in Hong Kong, so I have recently switched to Japanese websites and stopped buying Korean shirts. Several of my favorite fashion stores and many Japanese websites have launched the “Overseas Order” service, which is very easy to use, making it easy and convenient for foreigners to shop!
2) Rakuten Market/Amazon Japan
These are the largest shopping sites in Japan, with a wide variety of products. Most of the Rakuten Markets are Japanese-registered companies. Amazon Japan purchases products from Amazon’s official channels, so you don’t have to worry regarding buying fake products, regardless of clothing, food, housing, transportation, personal and household items, Brand products, etc. can be purchased with confidence.
3) Kiyoshi Matsumoto / Dokodemo
If you like to visit Japanese drugstores every time you travel to Japan, these two Japanese websites are must-see recommendations. Mothers like to buy cold medicines, gastrointestinal medicines, liver oil pills, sunscreens of various Japanese brands, Japanese snacks, etc. at the door, all of which are very affordable when the yen falls below 6.
However, I would like to remind everyone that in addition to the price of the goods, pay attention to the calculation of shipping costs, and don’t forget the family budget just because you have reached the purchase, remember “needs” and “want”, and don’t frantically buy and cause waste!
