Tax-Free Shopping
Many larger stores offer tax-free shopping for eligible international visitors.
If you’re planning to buy a suitcase, it’s a great opportunity to save money by purchasing it tax-free.
Simply bring your passport when shopping, and ask the staff if tax-free service is available. Most major branches of Don Quijote, Bic Camera, Yodobashi Camera, LOFT, and department stores provide this service.
Should You Buy Another Suitcase?
If you’ve bought a lot of souvenirs, purchasing an extra suitcase in Japan is often more convenient than paying overweight baggage fees.
Many travelers buy a second suitcase near the end of their trip and use it exclusively for snacks, cosmetics, and gifts.
Payment Methods
Most stores accept:
- Cash
- Credit cards
- Suica and PASMO
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- QR code payments
If you’re flying home from Tokyo, consider buying your suitcase a day or two before your departure rather than on your last day. This gives you plenty of time to repack your luggage without feeling rushed.
Also, don’t forget to ask about tax-free shopping before paying. If you’re eligible, the savings can easily cover the cost of travel accessories such as packing cubes or a luggage lock.
