Stoudemire regains ease: no sense of being careful

"Tourist KOL" Xiao Si also went to Osaka on Tuesday morning. Today, he "checked in" on the Kyoto trail wearing a kimono, and plans to play for 10 days.

Although he also traveled abroad twice during the epidemic, and traveled to Thailand in May this year, but due to the impact of local epidemic prevention measures, including the need to take a quick test before massage, the experience was not as good as before.

He said, "I'm so excited this time, I don't feel so careful."

Stoudemire said that due to the Japanese government's introduction of local travel subsidies to its citizens, the current tourists are mainly Japanese and Europeans and Americans, but the flow of people is still less than expected. As a reminder, Hong Kong people who are planning to travel to Japan should book hotels as soon as possible, because prices are constantly rising and they are facing competition from locals, otherwise the rooms are full and they will not be able to stay in their favorite hotels.

In addition, famous or high-end restaurants are also full and must be booked in advance.

Civilian food is still worth the same price in some restaurants for lunch and dinner

Stoudemire also said that he noticed the increase in local prices. For example, luxury brands including CHANEL, LV and other luxury goods have increased their prices, which are not as cheap as in Europe and the United States. However, the yen exchange rate has plummeted in recent years, and it is believed that some of the difference caused by the increase has been offset.

As for civilian food, there is no price increase, which is quite worth it, but he specifically mentioned high-end food. For example, Omakase has increased the price, and some restaurants may cancel the discount, and the price of lunch and dinner is the same.

However, he praised the friendly attitude of the local shop assistants, and the tax refund procedures were not "unfamiliar", but some shop assistants were surprised that tourists suddenly appeared.

As for the restaurant, there are no special epidemic prevention measures, and the clerk only provides disinfectant alcohol at most.

Call on tourists to use credit cards to earn points every day to reduce the risk of loss

As a "credit card master", Stoudemire does not exchange cash, and he reminds travelers that if they plan to spend a lot, credit cards are an ideal choice, because the local tax refund must be in cash, and the amount is sufficient for daily use and can earn integral.

He also pointed out that the exchange rate of the credit card is settled on the same day. On the contrary, if you convert the yen in advance, you will face risks. "If the yen continues to fall, it will lose money."
