JaJ ...Jaju about Japan-II

Japanese Market

Hello Friends. ..It has been one month here on this beautiful part of the earth. There were lots many new things, styles of operating. I intend to brief you about Japanese Market place..Shopping styles...something noticeable things about Japanese Shops and Drivers of it.

Japanese Shopping place List is having Akihabara- Electronic City as prominient name..a must visit place in Japan. I have been here 3-4 times..every time I have been here, could explore something new. Japanese Electronics Goods are amazing…there are so many Model, beautifully crafted to get you in love. This market is flooded with all electronic Gadgets Laptops, Desktops, Cameras, Electronic Dictionaries (for foreigners), MP3 players….Ipod have latest entrants in this list. This place is always flooded with youngsters..catching latest models of MP3s and Ipods..rates are pretty same as International market. One should find cheaper deal for Model made with Japanese Interface.
Akihabara note can not be complete, if I unmentioned Yodabashi..one of the Biggest Shoopping mall in Japan. You can find every single electronic goods here in this 6 storied complex..show casing almost every brand…I was amazed with variety and options available here. You can find Salesman with Speakers trying hard to catch your attention. (This very different as compare to India, generally there we just look for Visual effect to catch attention, but Audio Visual tricks were something new to first time flyer like me. Can u believe Salesman in Jaihind, Laxmi Rd, trying to catch your attention..never..rather they will be Happy to skip away, when customer is calling him.)

I was just wondering where this market is going to lead…I could make the trend Japanese Electronic market is moving towards Slim, Short, Lighter and value addition. Observe the history of Japanese Electornics companies Sony, Toshiba ..their history will reflect the same story. But closer look at this fact will also show up Attitude of people of this land..they believe that resources has to be used wisely, all resources are Gods gift..must be used be optimally. This novel thinking is driving the technology. The very same is also driving technology in Automobile domain..Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu are big giants leading spearhead in increasing Fuel efficiency as well as Duel fuel and Hybrid vehicle development. The same thought, which is in roots here, is all fired to make dent on future technology, which is going the lead the world.

Its worth mentioning that this thought is not only driving technology but also Cultural part. Bonsai is gift to the world from Japan…..see the thrusts to pursue Slim, Short, Lighter and value addition, is present here everywhere here.

In Japan you should find vending machines in abundance…they understands that, there is no point in employing humans to just to sell Water bottles, Cold drinks, all of the process can be automated. So wherever you are, just turn around you must find a vending machine. You can buy a Cigarettes and Drinks (starting from Bears…Colas to Ocha-Japanese tea). It never makes any mistake and returning back the Change and it is faster. The other advantage is it can be placed at remote places…which ensures availability everywhere.

I am sure everyone of you have had bad experience in Indian Restaurants..you have ordered something ..and gets something which you never expected..then eating it up with disappointment. Here Japanese restaurants are much ahead. In restaurants here, you can see show cases, displaying real like model of various dishes available there. It avoids confusion for foreigners like us. Models are very same as the original one..they are made of Wax..hats off to artistic work and thoughtfulness of sons of this land.

That’s all for the time…will update you more..as I explore!
