Japan Tax-Free Shopping
How it works for purchases made on or after 1 November 2026
- 1
Buy at a shop showing the Tax-Free sign, and spend ¥5,000 or more before tax there in one day. Some shopping complexes let you combine purchases from several tenants at one tax-free counter.
- 2
Gold and platinum bullion, gold and platinum coins, and goods that are not subject to consumption tax, do not count towards that total.
- 3
Show your passport when you pay, along with anything else the shop asks for. You pay the full price including tax.
- 4
Buy only what you can carry out yourself. Keep everything you bought and take it out of Japan within 90 days of the purchase, and do not consume food, drink or cosmetics before you leave.
- 5
On the day you leave, at the airport or seaport and before you check in your bags, present your passport at a tax-free terminal. Green finishes it; red means customs will look at the goods. If one item from a receipt is missing, nothing on that receipt is refunded.
- 6
The shop, or the refund service it works with, pays you the amount equivalent to the tax. Ask them how and when it reaches you, and whether they charge for it.
This list applies to purchases made on or after 1 November 2026; up to 31 October the tax still comes off in the shop. Whether you qualify depends on your nationality, residence status and documents. General travel information, not tax advice — confirm with the shop and the Japan Tourism Agency's official guidance.
