Many of you may have been to large stores for electronics such as K's or the Yamada Denki near Toy R Us in Hachinohe. However, the quantity of items offered in these stores can be a little overwhelming for you to find what you want. Also, many large appliances or products such as refrigerators, TVs, or washing machines etc. may not show the current prices due to the campaign discount. I hope the following phrases help your shopping.
