D1 Information > On Departure > International Tourist Tax

Visitors to Japan pay a 1,000 yen tax on departure. This tax is taken automatically by the travel agency or airline, whichever is more appropriate. It is the legal responsibility of the tax collecting organisation to collect the tax and as such it is usually included in your ticket price.

Exempt Persons

Children under the age of 2 and those who have a departing air ticket issued before Janury 7th, 2019, are exempt from paying ITT.
