  Today, we guided those who are lost to the jewelry store Ando Shichiho Store.
When I saw the new work of the shop, I was informed of Duty Free.

If you ask a kind clerk, if the price excluding tax of the product is 10,801 yen or more, you will be exempt from consumption tax if you take the prescribed procedures such as presenting your passport.
This is good news for foreign customers.

Therefore, for customers from abroad, we examined initiatives for tax exemption at shops in Ginza and Nihonbashi districts.
　
At a shop in Ginza, Motoki, a Western clothing store, was also informed of duty-free.

It is said that the number of foreign visitors to Japan from abroad will exceed 11 million from January to October in 2014, and 13 million tourists are expected to come to Japan by the end of March next year.
We also felt that we had to study the tax exemption system for foreign customers and friends with hospitality.　Ginzo

 At present, the Christmas tree at Mikimoto Main Store in Ginza 4-chome is entertaining people who enjoy silver bra.

Today I went into the store for a while.　I received an envelope for CHRISTMAS Jewelry Fair 2014.
　The envelope included information on wonderful pearl necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. for Christmas presents, as well as information on the "Mikimoto Walking with Ginza" exhibition.

  In the guidance text,
In 1899 (Meiji 32), Mikimoto opened Japan's first pearl specialty store in Ginza, the center of Western culture. Since then, we have been walking with Ginza for 115 years and have continued to transmit jewelry culture.
In this exhibition, we will explore the trajectory of Mikimoto's head office and the role played in the land of Ginza, and introduce the charm of Ginza, which shows different expressions for each era, along with photographs and videos of those days, and valuable materials from various famous stores. I will introduce it. "
Then I went to Mikimoto Hall on the 6th floor.　

　Please take a look at the photos of the opening of the famous stores in Mikimoto and Ginza during the period displayed on the other side of this hall entrance.
The event period is from November 21 to December 30.　Admission is free. Please enjoy it with your shopping.
