💡 Tips for Visitors

Many shops offer tax-free shopping for tourists, so bring your passport to save 8-10% on purchases over ¥5,000. The arcade gets extremely crowded on weekends and evenings, so visit on weekday mornings for a more relaxed experience. While major stores accept credit cards, smaller shops and food stalls may be cash-only, and English signage is common though staff English ability varies.
