Tax-Free Shopping Now Available — Refund-Style System
TICK Ginza now supports Japan's new tax-free system (the refund method), which began on November 1, 2026. Visitors from overseas who meet the requirements can have the consumption tax refunded on their purchases.
You pay the price including consumption tax at the time of purchase. When you leave Japan, you complete a customs check at the airport or other departure point, and the tax is refunded afterward.
How to use it
