Anna: Not exactly. The prices at local stores are actually the same as those at the airport because of tax refund. If you buy things that total over 5000 yens at local stores, you can get an 8% tax refund.
安娜: 不是喔。你在日本當地商店買的價格跟機場其實是一樣的,因為可以退稅。如果買到日幣五千圓就可以拿到百分之八的退稅。

Anna: Not really. You can look for the prices on the website first. If this item is a limited edition only available at the airport or it’s cheaper there, you can still buy it at the airport’s duty-free shops.
安娜: 也不是啦,其實你可以上網先查一下價格,如果這個商品是機場的限定版,或是機場的價格比較便宜才買。
