Tax Exemption
Foreign travelers can get a refund of the consumption tax in Japan, but it's been difficult to do.
Now, foreign travelers are exempt from the 8 percent tax if they make purchases totaling at least 5,000 yen, or about 45 dollars, regardless of product category.
Good to know if you are making a high value purchase.
