Maid cafe reality (2026)
Maid cafes = waitresses in maid costumes serving overpriced food with cute customer interactions ('nyan nyan' cat spells over your omelet). TourPRist-friendly ones: @Home Cafe, Maidreamin. Prices: entrance fee ¥600-1,000 + drink ¥800-1,500. Photos with maid ¥600. Highly performative/kitsch, and you either love it or find it weird. Not for everyone.
Electronics: still worth it in 2026?
For CAMERAS: yes, tax-free 10% + Japan-only models sometimes cheaper. For PHONES: no, most Japanese phones locked/incompatible. For GAMING: yes for retro games (Super Potato) + Japan-exclusive titles. For LAPTOPS: same price as home usually. Bring passport for the 10% tax-free discount on ¥5,000+ purchases at big stores.
