If you are joining a group, the main shopping spots are: Ginza, Odaiba divertokyocity and Osaka Shinsaibashi. Most of the stores in these shopping spots are tax refundable and will have taxfree or dutyfree signs. Sometimes if you show that you are a foreigner, the staff at a store that can refund tax will also tell you that tax refund is available here. Most stores can refund tax directly in the store. The tax refund procedures are as follows: 1. Show your passport. 2. The clerk put everything into a bag with something like taxfreebag written on it. 3. Then the clerk will take your passport and fill in the tax refund form, which requires your signature. 4. Finally, he will staple the tax refund list and purchase list to your passport. 5. Before leaving Japan, remember to cancel your visa at the airport. After you clear customs at the airport, hand it to the airport staff and ask him to remove all the slips for you. ps: In most department stores in Ginza, tax refunds are done at the same counter and cannot be refunded directly inside, such as Mitsukoshi.
