Airport refund kiosks

Find your departure airport. Scan your passport before checking your bags, and keep your purchases ready for customs.

Common reasons a refund is refused

  • Over 90 days. Goods must leave Japan within 90 days of purchase.
  • Goods not shown. On a red result, customs must see the items. Checked bags already sent cannot be shown.
  • Receipt under ¥5,000. Each receipt counts alone, excluding tax. Separate small receipts are not added up.
  • Skipped the terminal. Without the passport scan before check-in, customs cannot confirm the export.

Tax-free procedure terminals are in the international departure lobby, before airline check-in. At these seven airports you can also use Visit Japan Web on the dedicated Wi-Fi. Source: Japan Tourism Agency.
