Kakaku.com is a pretty fascinating price-comparison engine that I use quite a bit here in Japan. There are a number of cool features that I find myself coming back to regularly, namely the handy ‘price down’ list which shows products whose price have recently dropped, as well as a informative graph that shows the change in price over time. The products offered range from electronics to bicycles and everything in between.
You can search for a specific product, or browse around for something you like. Invariably before I ever make any major purchase I find myself scouting the price on Kakaku beforehand. More often than not the site will direct me to a third party online retailer (quite often it’s Amazon Japan) and I can order from the comfort of home. Because — with due apologies in advance to my wife — going outside to shop is for suckers.
Anyway, check out the brief video tour of Kakaku below. We’re hoping to bring you more video tours of Asian web services and applications in the future, so stay tuned.
