How does a tourist buy stuff in Japan?

Question:


In a Japanese language book I found, it says you must show them a passport if you wanna purchase something. What if you're native? Do people always have to bring out their passports? What if they look like they're from Japan because they're Japanese, but they're still a tourist? Or the other way around (Citizen of Japan looks like a foreigner.)

Do they even need to look at a passport to do that? I've never been outside USA and live in Hawaii, and I've never even seen a passport before. It was a guide/language book for tourists planning to visit Japan. I just found it lying around. Don't know how old the book is.

Answer:


Show your passport - what rubbish. Throw that book away, it's crap.
All you need to buy stuff in Japan in yen, lots of yen.
