Japan has just opened its national gates that have been closed for many years due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Many analysts originally thought that tourists would have to wait for a while before they would slowly return. Who would have thought that yen will be depreciated again this week, and even reached a new low in 32 years!
Such a cheap yen has caused foreigners carrying large and small bags to appear on the streets of Japan recently. On the one hand, everyone is sweeping high-priced products such as brand-name bags and cameras; on the other hand, they have not missed affordable products such as toy models and clothing. After all, the whole of Japan is so cheap! Let’s take a look at what foreign tourists have bought~
"The yen has dropped to a 32-year low, with 147 yen per dollar!"
in recent months, and currencies in countries around the world have depreciated relatively significantly against the US dollar. However, if we talk about the mainstream currency that is particularly depreciated, it must be the Japanese yen.
On October 13, the yen faced another major depreciation, and even reached a new low in 32 years...
This exchange rate is the new low since in August 1990!
Japanese people are mourning that their salary will not rise, but prices will rise again!
For Japan, which relies on imports of oil and other daily necessities, the depreciation of the yen is quite painful for the Japanese. However, for foreign tourists who can finally go to Japan for free recently, they are of course very happy!
A large number of foreign tourists have appeared on the streets of Japan
For example, the following tourist from New Zealand said:
Reporter: "How much did you spend to Japan to shop?"
Tourists: "It's too much, I haven't counted it."

Everyone was carrying large and small bags of things
This American tourist who was shopping in Akihabara showed his trophy to the TV reporter...
"I just bought some models, which are about 40,000 yen."
As he said that, he took out a large number of steel bullet models from his handbag!
Reporter: "Do you think this shopping is cost-effective?"
Tourists: "Of course it's cost-effective, it may be twice as expensive in the United States."
Then the reporter witnessed Canadian tourists coming out of UNIQLO...
two people on their hands... They were carrying big bags, which made the reporter go up to visit them
reporter: "Did you expect to buy so much?"
tourists: "No."
tourists: "This dress is 2,900 yen, and it will be sold in Canada 6,000 yen."
Many foreign tourists are like these two Canadians. When they were planning to travel to Japan, they did not expect to buy so many things. But after coming to Japan, they suddenly found that the yen was depreciated, which made them temporarily exchange more money and buy more things!
Foreign tourists always carry large and small bags in their hands
Tourists: "I didn't plan to buy so many things, which may be a good thing for Japan."
Did you buy the yen first?
Many things are now super cheap. If you buy
, you will make a profit~
If it is you, what do you want to buy the most?
