    Just wanted to say thank you for the video and the spreadsheet. Been to Osaka before, but I wasn't aware of the Yamada there. Those prices are pretty amazing. I'll check it out when I go in November.

    I just recently stumbled upon your channel and skimmed through your content. Keep it up bro. I especially loved the content that you did with Oliver. I hope you guys keep up your friendship. I totally know how it feels to meet an internet friend for the first time in real life and realizing that somehow it feels like you've known that person forever. So yeah, looking forward to more videos, thumbsup!

    Any place that has duty free advertised, as long as you spend more than 5000jpy(~50usd) with your passport you’ll pay the price on the price tag without an additional 8% slapped on for sales tax. I think all the places on this list offer duty free.
