I got it in cash because I needed extra pocket money. I believe it would take some time for the refund to come if you go the CC route so I never chose that for all my tax refunds.
After they take the fees for giving the refunds I found the tax break to be like 7-8%. Is that what you found as well?
I got my refund on CC a few days later (much faster compared to 3 weeks in Paris). It was a 7% refund, my CC doesn’t charge FX fees.
Interesting! I got about 7.5% by taking the cash. Wonder what it would have been if I took the credit card refund.
I was in the Isetan store in Shinjuku last week, they had a good variety colours for St Louis and Artois bags but the SA said there are no "mini bags" like mini anjou or belvedere pm. 
Miss Japan a lot - found the best availability of items surprisingly at the Kyoto store. Never got to see the Nagoya stores!
Sad, these are my top 2 bags. Did she mention if they're coming? I'll be there soonI was in the Isetan store in Shinjuku last week, they had a good variety colours for St Louis and Artois bags but the SA said there are no "mini bags" like mini anjou or belvedere pm.
Does anyone know if you can place Distant Acquisition orders in Japan (or what the shipping fee is) or order a certain bag through the store in person if a certain color is out of stock? Do they also hold certain bags if requested like in the US?
Hello everyone! I will be visiting Tokyo in November and intend to purchase a Bohème Hobo as soon as I arrive because I’m planning to use it for my entire trip in Japan. I will be heading to my hotel at Nihombashi so I was thinking to head to the Takashimaya @ Nihombashi outlet after I check in. Does anyone have any idea on the stock availability for this model and its retail price? I find that this model is not always readily available where I live. Wondering how it is in Japan. I’ll be visiting Osaka & Kyoto so I can try there as well. Thanks for taking your time! 
I just got back from Tokyo. I'd plan to pop into all the stores in the cities you're visiting to check on stock... they were totally depleted when I went into Takashimaya. The only tote-ish bag they had available when I went was an Artois GM and there was just 1 in the store. It seemed pretty dire.Hello everyone!
