- Step 1, tax-free applied: 11,000 ÷ 1.10 = 10,000 yen
- Step 2, 5% coupon discount: 10,000 × 0.95 = 9,500 yen
[Example 2] Buying 33,000 yen of goods, tax included

⚠️ Items the coupon discount does not cover: alcohol, tobacco, game consoles, POSA cards (prepaid cards), gift certificates, single items priced at 100,000 yen or more, and price-restricted items. It cannot be combined with other discounts such as the majica card.
How to Get Tax-Free at Don Quijote
Travellers visiting Japan from abroad are exempt from the 10% consumption tax when they spend 5,000 yen or more before tax.
- ① Put 5,000 yen or more of goods, before tax, in your basket
- ② At checkout, go to the Tax-Free counter rather than a regular register
- ③ Present your passport together with the coupon screen
- ④ Receive the goods sealed in a tax-free bag
※ The coupon discount applies from 10,000 yen before tax. That is a different threshold from tax-free, which starts at 5,000 yen, so keep the two apart.
※ Japanese nationals returning temporarily from overseas can also use the coupon. Foreign embassy tax exemptions do not apply.
Can You Open the Tax-Free Bag While Still in Japan?
The short answer is no, do not open it inside Japan.
Goods processed tax-free have to leave the country unopened. Customs at the airport can inspect at random, and if they find the bag opened, the exemption can be cancelled and the consumption tax charged back to you. Waiting until you are home is the safe move.
That said, some consumables such as food follow different rules on packaging and opening, so ask the staff member directly at checkout.
Don Quijote Coupon FAQ
Q. Can I just take a screenshot of the coupon?
A. No. At the register you have to open the Live Japan, Klook or kkday page yourself and show the live screen with the barcode on it. The in-store Wi-Fi (DONKI_Free_Wi-Fi) makes this easier.
Q. We are a group. Can we combine our purchases for the coupon?
A. The coupon benefit is based on a single tax-free transaction. If everyone shops together and one person pays for the lot, it is easier to clear the 10,000 yen and 30,000 yen thresholds and get the higher discount rate.
Q. What if the barcode will not scan?
A. Turn your phone screen brightness all the way up. If that does not work, reload the page or try a different register.
Q. Can I use it at every Don Quijote in the country?
A. It works at roughly 600 Don Quijote, MEGA Don Quijote, APITA and PIAGO stores across Japan.
In 2026 the core of shopping at Don Quijote is still tax-free stacked with the coupon. The bigger the basket, the more you feel it, particularly on cosmetics, medicines, snacks and household goods.
Saving the coupon before your trip takes five minutes and can be worth several thousand yen, so grab it while you are packing.
