Gotochi Card expensive?
Japanese people say no swap of Gotochi card. Why?
I saw some Japanese postcrossers wrote no swap of Gotochi card.
I received many messages to ask for a swap of Gotochi card, even though I wrote no interest in direct swap.
A Gotochi card is too expensive to swap? Yes.
The price of one Gotochi card is 180 Yen.
The postage is 190 Yen (Europe, America, Canada, Oceania)and 160 Yen (Asia) only in an envelope.
The shape card with stamped was not allowed to mail before but now it is OK however the postage is higher. So I do not want.
Total 370 Yen = US $4.6 ( Asia 340 Yen = US$ 4.2)
How about the normal card?
The price of one card is from 105 Yen to 157 Yen included tax if you buy one by one.
If you go to a tourist spot, you'll find a souvenir shop which provides a set of 8-12 postcards.
That is affordable but they aren't all nice cards as some are ugly and mostly tourist cards.
The price of the set is from 420 Yen to 630 Yen so that means 35 Yen to 80 Yen per a card.
The postage of a postcard with stamped to overseas is 70 Yen.
So compare to the normal card, Gotochi card is expensive.
If you really want to swap, I suppose the better way is that one Gotochi card and 2 cards with stamped or 3 cards in an envelope. Favorite cards for both.
Or one Gotochi card and one unusual shape card such as London Tower ( below ) if the person is interested in the unusual shape cards.
So please do not ask for a swap only one postcard and one Gotochi card.
Now you might understand that Japanese do not agree with the swap.
