Are there tourist traps in Japan? Tour guide weighs in. #japan #japantravel #traveljapan #tourist
You go like to a restaurant in some central square in a European city and then the bill comes and it’s like 60 bucks for French fries. Does that happen in Japan? No. Japan’s fair. Like you go to the airport and the 7-Eleven doesn’t increase water to $6, it’s still a dollar. I just went to Canada with my girlfriend. She found this cosmetic. It’s like this skin cream. In the airport at Narita, it was 3,000 yen. And in Canada airport, it was the exact same volume, exact same jar, 7,000 yen. More than double the price. There are fluctuations of prices throughout Japan. And they will be in touristy areas. Shibuya restaurants, you may be paying a bit more. If you go and eat street food in like a Sakusa, at Senoji Temple, you may pay a bit more for the street food. Um, but that’s supply and demand, right? But then you go to like some quiet place and it’s 200 yen less. That’s still not a big increase. Like a dollar more for street food, like okay, that’s fine, you know?

Bull. There are plenty of places in Japan and Okinawa specifically where they will lure you in with a false price for the meal and attempt to extort money from you after you have already finished the meal.
Also happens in their bars.
