Only you can answer that question.

YES ! I bought a great handbag on our last trip to Japan .

While waiting for the clouds/mist/fog to lift so we could see Mt Fuji I found a great range of bags made from lacquered deerskin !!

As long as you don't fly direct.

Sounds a bit like Patsie and Eddie flying to New York to buy a door handle

I've flown to Tokyo for a weekend just to eat at one particular restaurant, so as I say - you do you!

I bought some of that last time. Small coin purses as gifts. Though it was in Takayama.

I also purchased a couple of Inden purses for MrsM and coin purses for MissM in Takayama. Maybe it was from the same shop.

Ah shopping.

 

[mrs.dr.ron]

Ah shopping.

Ahhhhhh ............ Golf

 

[JohnK]

Ahhhhhh ............ Golf

I was going to say that there aren't many things more boring than shopping but you would have added something about golf. Oh....

Make sure you have your passport with you, when I bought my handbag the shop did an instant VAT refund - so it came off the purchase price before I paid with my CC - I cant remember what the minimum spend is cause my handbag was way over that !
