APPLE JAPAN × US

Apple Store Japan does not refund tax.

This page pairs the same model and configuration on Apple’s Japan and US stores. Apple Store Japan and the Japan site do not offer traveler tax-free sales, so the figures here convert the tax-included list price. For Bic Camera tax-free street prices, see18 retail comparisons.

Why there is no official tax-free price

Apple Store Japan has stopped traveler tax-free sales, and online orders are not tax-free either. Do not divide the Apple list price by 1.1 and treat that as a payable price. Tax-free retailers such as Bic Camera need their own quote, stock check and in-store eligibility.

Conversion rate

JPY 1 ≈ USD 0.006564 (Bank of Taiwan spot selling reference rate; the US dollar is cross-converted, 2026-09-10). Card fees, sales tax, shipping and warranty differences are not included.

Comparison basis

Same model and configuration paired by Apple's own spec codes, color aside; Japan iPhone figures are the SIM-free list price, US iPhone figures are UNLOCKED/US, and Apple Watch uses the same case's starting price.

Checked on

Both stores’ list prices were read from Apple’s own pages on 2026-09-13. Prices change; re-check the source pages before you pay.

Before you use this comparison

01 Same configuration onlyColour does not change the price, so each configuration is kept once. Capacity, memory, size and connectivity are listed separately and never stand in for each other.

02 Official list price is not a tax-free retailer priceEvery Japan figure on this page is from Apple’s official store, so it only compares the two official lists. For traveler tax-free sales, go to a retailer that offers it, such as Bic Camera, and re-check the same spec, sticker, stock and threshold.

03 The gap is not your landed costThis page only compares official tax-included list prices. Overseas card fees, the FX timing, luggage space, warranty and where you can get service all change the real result.

04 Accessories are out of scopeOnly Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, AirTag, Apple TV and HomePod themselves. Bands, cases, adapters and other accessories are omitted.
