Before your trip, here's what's now illegal, and what it costs:

Kyoto's Gion district formally banned photography of geiko and maiko in private alleys.

E-scooter rules changed in July 2023. Registration, speed limits and lane rules still apply, similar to car driving.
🚯 Littering: ¥2,000–¥30,000
Almost no public bins exist in Japan. Carrying your trash is standard, so always have a plastic bag with you, to do the proper dispose of the items.

🚭 Smoking on the streets: ¥2,000–¥20,000
Most cities limit smoking to designated zones. Always look for a marked smoking corner before lighting up.

From 1Nov2026 , Japan’s new tax-free shopping system will take effect as per shown.

Instead of receiving the tax exemption at the store, travelers will pay the full price including tax and claim a refund before leaving Japan after completing the required procedures.

How it works -

Pay the full tax-inclusive price
When shopping in store at an eligible Japan Tax-Free Shop, present your passport when you are ready to purchase. Staff will verify your details while registering a record of the purchase, and you will pay the full tax-inclusive price. A record of your purchase is automatically submitted to Japan’s customs system and will help with confirmation at departure.

Prepare for Departure
Departures from Japan (and completing your tax-free confirmation procedures at the airport) should take place within 90 days of purchase for the tax-free status to remain valid. Along with the goods, keep the receipts and allow extra time at the airport for going through the refund process.

Declaring your items
When declaring your items at the airport, customs will verify your passport info and tax-free purchase records, and you may be asked to present your purchased items. In some cases and locations, this procedure may be self-service.

In principle, you must have all tax-free items shown on any eligible receipt. If any item is missing, the tax-free status of all items will be invalidated.

Get refunded
Refunds will be made according to the individual tax-free shop (or a contracted refund service) where you purchased from. Credit card refunds may take up to 1-2 weeks, and bank transfers 2-4 weeks (varies by destination bank and country).
