Visiting Japan Requires International Tourist Tax - Japanese Government Plans to Increase Tax

Since 2019, travelers to Japan have been required to pay an International Tourist Tax when departing, currently set at 1000 yen. However, the Japanese government is now planning to increase this tax to between 3000 and 5000 yen. Since payment is mandatory regardless of the amount, focus should be placed on how the tax revenue will be used and why this tax is necessary. This tax is related to consumption tax refunds and the Osaka-Kansai World Expo. This article briefly introduces the Japanese government's plan to increase the International Tourist Tax and discusses how the tax revenue will be utilized. It touches on the apparent contradiction between promoting tourism while increasing taxes, and emphasizes the importance of transparency in how the tax funds are spent. It also mentions connections to the consumption tax refund system and the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo.
