Japan is changing its tax-free shopping system for foreign tourists from April 1st (or November 1st, depending on sources). Instead of in-store discounts, tourists will now pay the full price including tax at stores and receive refunds upon departure. This change aims to prevent tourists from reselling their purchases within Japan, a practice that has been increasing in recent years.
