I know a couple Japanese girls who come here three or four times a year specifically for the shopping, and it's not like they're loaded or anything.

Do they really buy enough that the savings (compared to Japanese retail prices) are greater than the cost of the flight to Korea? Or are they coming to Korea on a cheap boat or something?


I have no idea. They also go clubbing quite a bit, which is infinitely cheaper here than in Japan.


Yeah, Insadong was full of Japanese shoppers on the weekends last time I was in those parts. I 'heard' they buy Korean stuff as the quality is better than China but the cost is lower than Japan so it's a happy medium.
