If you ask a kind clerk, if the tax-excluded price of the product is 10,801 yen or more, you will be exempt from consumption tax if you follow the prescribed procedures such as presenting your passport.
This is good news for foreign customers.

Therefore, for foreign customers, we examined the tax exemption efforts at shops in the Ginza and Nihonbashi districts.
 
At the store in Ginza, Motoki, a Western clothing store, was also informed of duty-free.

We also felt that we had to study the tax exemption system for foreign customers and friends with hospitality. Silver

Today, I went inside the store for a while. I received an envelope for CHRISTMAS JEWELRY FAIR 2014 from the guide lady.
 In addition to information on wonderful pearl necklaces, earrings, and bracelets for Christmas gifts, the envelope also included information on the "Mikimoto Walking with Ginza" exhibition.

  In the guide text
In 1899 (Meiji 32), Mikimoto opened Japan's first pearl specialty store in Ginza, the center of Western culture. Since then, we have been walking with Ginza for 115 years and have continued to transmit the jewelry culture.
In this exhibition, we will explore the trajectory of Mikimoto Honten and the role played in the land of Ginza, as well as the charm of Ginza, which shows different expressions from time to time, as well as valuable materials from various famous stores. I will introduce it. "
Then, I went to Mikimoto Hall on the sixth floor.
