Taiwanese travelers visiting Japan often make a point of spending time shopping at drugstores—it’s practically a staple activity on any trip. To make shopping easier for overseas visitors, Japan’s well-known drugstore chain “Matsumoto Kiyoshi” has launched a store specifically for foreigners. Unlike its usual blue-and-yellow storefronts, this foreigner-exclusive “Matsumoto Kiyoshi” features a sleek silver-and-white color scheme. It not only offers tax-free services but also staffs multilingual employees, making your shopping experience even more convenient!

The foreigner-dedicated Matsumoto Kiyoshi is located in Yurakucho, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. Aside from its distinct “white” façade—unlike the traditional Matsumoto Kiyoshi stores—shoppers here need not worry about language barriers. The store employs service staff proficient in various languages, with name tags indicating things like “I speak Chinese” or “I speak English.” Simply look for a staff member with your native language listed and feel free to ask about products. Additionally, the white Matsumoto Kiyoshi stocks best-selling items among foreign travelers from over a thousand branches across Japan. If you’re short on time, just visit this one location to get all your must-haves in one go—it’s super convenient!
