Japan’s ¥1,000 “Sayonara” Departure Tax for Tourists Explained

Thanks for visiting Japan, Sayonara and oh, one more thing. Pay this TAX, please! This new flight and cruise ship tax started on January 7, 2019 and will cost you ¥1,000 ($9.25) — but why? For what? Who is effected? The Japanese “International Departure Tax” is here and I’ll explain it. There’s a useful PDF in English here: https://www.nta.go.jp/english/taxes/indirect/pdf/leaflet1.pdf many call this the “Sayonara Tax” and with 31M tourists coming to Japan in 2018, it means A LOT OF money!
