You threw away the box?
Cause last time I bought like those Instax Camera etc and they were all sealed inside the plastic bag so that we could claim the tax refund at the airport and it was not a problem. So I'm wondering if that would be possible although I will highly unbox it to test if there's any defects. Hahaha
Nope. I kept the box in luggage.
The tax deduction was done on the spot at payment counter when I paid for the device. Just show your passport on the spot will do. No detailed checking is done here yet.
Before return flight , visit Tax counter in the Japan Airport to declare purchases (with tax deducted) . By right, everyone needs to declare every tax deducted purchases but I think most never actually does it. When I went there, the counter had no tourist declaring items. lol

come to think of it, I never bothered with tax refund claim in the past when i went there. what was the requirement again? at least 10k yen in single receipt?
It was changed to 5000 Yen (excluding tax) or 5400 Yen (including tax).
