Tokyo & Osaka Shopping Made Easier – FamilyMart x LAWSON Launch Tax-Free Services
By MOOK Scenic Spots & Lifestyle Network Editorial Team
With the expansion of Japan’s tax-free policies and the depreciation of the yen, an increasing number of foreign tourists are visiting Japan. Japanese convenience stores are seizing the opportunity to introduce tax-free services and capture a larger share of the tourism market. Since the end of 2014, when nine 7-Eleven stores launched tax-free services, now well-known local convenience store chains FamilyMart and LAWSON have also announced their participation, offering tax-free benefits at select locations in Tokyo and Kansai.

Starting February 2015, Japanese convenience store LAWSON followed suit by launching tax refund services, offering tax-free shopping at three Tokyo locations for foreign tourists: ^??徘暗辍⒕┣糯瓷?莸辍?裕希么笃榈辏?灰?郝蚴称贰⒁┳逼返嚷?煌蛉赵玻?诟犊钍背鍪净ふ眨?纯上碛忻馑坝呕荨Ａ硗猓?毡救?冶憷?痰暌泊映月底跟进, opening three tax-free stores: the 2nd floor, Terminal 1 of Kansai Airport, the 4th floor, Terminal 1 of Kansai Airport, and the Sunshine City Prince Hotel in Tokyo.

It’s worth noting that Japan’s FamilyMart convenience stores stipulate that tax-free services are only available for purchases made between 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM at designated tax-free stores, and customers must also meet the Japanese government’s tax exemption criteria. Additionally, any tax-free goods purchased at LAWSON or FamilyMart cannot be used or consumed within Japan.
