💡 About Japan's new tax-free system: Since November 1, 2026, Japan's tax-free system has changed to a refund method. For full details, plus how individual retailers and airports are responding, check our Japan's New Tax-Free System: Company & Airport Guide.
Q. How and when will I receive my tax refund?
A. Pay the tax-inclusive price at the store. When you leave Japan (within 90 days of the purchase date), complete the customs check for your items at the airport or seaport before checking in your luggage. After customs confirms your items, the consumption tax (up to 10%) is refunded through the refund operator J-TaxRefund. The refund equals the consumption tax you actually paid.
Q. Is the ¥5,000 minimum purchase for tax-free shopping calculated before or after tax?
A. It is ¥5,000 before tax (excluding consumption tax). The minimum for tax-free purchases is the same as under the previous system: ¥5,000 before tax.
Q. Is the ¥5,000 minimum judged after the 8% discount is applied?
A. Yes. The amount after the 8% coupon discount must be at least ¥5,000 before tax.
Q. Is the ¥5,000 minimum judged per checkout, or can I combine purchases made on the same day?
A. It is judged per transaction (per checkout). Because Joshin is a general-type tax-free store, purchases made at the same store on the same day cannot be combined.
Q. Is the 8% discount applied to the tax-inclusive or the pre-tax price?
A. The discount applies to the item's base price (before tax). The result is the same whether you calculate on the tax-inclusive or the pre-tax price. Example for an item priced at ¥11,000 including tax: ¥11,000 × 0.92 = ¥10,120 (or ¥10,000 × 0.92 × 1.1 = ¥10,120).
Q. How much tax will be refunded?
A. The refund is the consumption tax (up to 10%) included in the amount after the 8% discount. You are refunded the consumption tax you actually paid.
Q. Who handles the tax refund?
A. Joshin uses J-TaxRefund (operated by J&J Tax Free Corp.) for refunds. You must register the required information yourself on the dedicated website (via QR code). See the J-TaxRefund official website for details.
Q. Can I use this coupon multiple times?
A. Yes. You may use it as many times as you like.
Q. Can I complete the tax refund procedure with a copy or photo of my passport?
A. No. You must present the original passport for the tax refund procedure. We cannot process it with a copy or a photo on a smartphone. Also, we may need to check your entry stamp (seal) as necessary.
Q. Can I use “consumables” such as medicines or cosmetics while staying in Japan?
A. Under the new system (from November 1, 2026), consumables (food, cosmetics, medicines, etc.) are no longer sealed in special bags. However, to receive the tax refund, you must present the purchased items to customs when leaving Japan. Items you cannot present at customs are not eligible for a refund.
Q. Can you deliver the items I bought to the airport or my hotel?
A. Whether delivery is available depends on the store, the items, and the delivery destination. Some stores offer paid hotel delivery, but airport delivery is not available. We basically recommend taking your purchases with you, so if you would like delivery, please consult our staff before purchasing.
Q. What payment methods are available?
A. In addition to cash (Japanese yen), we accept credit cards such as VISA/Mastercard/JCB/Amex/UnionPay, and QR payments such as Alipay and WeChat Pay.
