There are a lot of reasons why one would love to explore Japan. Some of them being the authentic Japanese Sushi, their rice wine, Sake, extreme fashion forwardness and the cherry blossom festival. But now, there is one more reason you will not want to leave Japan.
The government of Japan has implemented a new tax, widely known as the ‘Sayonara’ Tax. A fees of 1000 Yen (Rs 654) will be charged on the tickets as part of this tax. The amount will automatically be incorporated on the plane or ship fares of all passengers, irrespective of their nationality.
Though everybody need not have to pay the tax. The exceptions are the Diplomats, U.S and United Nations armed forces personnel who will be travelling for official purposes, children under the age of two years, the passengers who have been in Japan for less than 24 hours along with those who have been forced to enter the country because of ‘unavoidable’ circumstances, reported The Japan Times.
