FAQ

What yen rate makes a purchase in Japan worthwhile?
It depends on the product. Across 785 matches, the median break-even rate is 0.259 TWD per JPY.
How is the break-even rate calculated?
Divide the Taiwan list price in TWD by the Japan list price in JPY. Compare that rate with the rate you will actually pay.
Do these gaps include tax-free shopping?
No. They compare the recorded list prices. Tax-free eligibility, payment fees, shipping and stock depend on the actual purchase.
