Some prices are hard to change. 100yen shops must set price 100yen + tax for most products. Arcade games can't set 110yen but can set 100 or 200 yen. I admit J

I admit Japanese tend to think price won't up without reason for recent two decades. It is called "deflation mindset". So some manufacturers do shrinkflation.

- quartesixte 5y agoWhich is a source of frustration to no end given how annoying that extra 5 yen can be. You will always at minimum need to pay with 2 coins. Not to mention awkwardly given back any multiple of 5 back if you pay in any multiple of 10. God help your coin purse (or pockets) if you end up with an unholy mix of 1, 5 and 10 yen coins.
- glandium 5y agoIt's 110 yens, now ;) (consumption tax went up to 8% a few years ago and to 10% more recently)
