Don Quijote discount coupons are back!

With Japan slowly reopening to foreign tourists, Don Quijote has introduced a new discount coupon. 

Don Quijote offers an additional 5% off on top of the 10% tax-free when you shop as a tourist in their stores. This discount coupon can also be used at their sister stores, Apita and Piago.

Similar to the previous Yokoso Pass, this coupon is available for all foreign tourists and Japanese citizens not residing in Japan.

To use the coupon, click on the banner or this link to open the coupon page. You have to do this at the cashier before paying. Once the page has loaded, scroll down to tap on the coupon to get the unique code that will be scanned to get the discount.

Here’s the fine print of the Don Quijote Discount Coupon:

  1. You automatically get 10% tax-free for purchases over ¥5,500. To get the additional 5% off, your total must be ¥10,000 and above.
  2. Alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, POSA cards, and high ticket items (priced at ¥100,000 or more before tax) are not eligible for discount.
  3. It cannot be combined with other discount programs or services.
  4. You cannot use a screenshot of the coupon or the bar code. You need to load the link on your mobile phone at the time of use to click on the link that generates the bar code.
  5. This discount is limited to one use per device per day. So if you’ve used the coupon to pay for your purchase and went back to the store for another round of shopping within the same day, you cannot use the coupon again.
  6. This discount coupon can be used at Don Quijote stores in Japan, Mega Don, Apita, and Piago stores. See all the

What is Don Quijote? 

Don Quijote is a chain of discount stores found across Japan and in some countries in Asia and some states in the USA. They carry a wide range of goods from kitchen items to second-hand luxury items. Sometimes called Donki, it is also where you can buy some regional souvenir products from different prefectures. They also have their own home brand, Jonetz or Jonetsu Kakaku, which delivers great value at affordable prices. They also offer tax-free shopping, which makes it very popular among foreign tourists in Japan.

So why is Don Quijote popular among Filipino tourists in Japan?

Pinoys find it hard to say no to a bargain! Aside from the low prices and wide range of products available, some of the Don Quijote stores in the big cities in Japan are open 24 hours. This means shopping at any time of the day or night, without having to sacrifice precious sightseeing and selfie time.

So when planning for your Japan trip, ask your travel agent to include Don Quijote in your itinerary. Visit their website to find the nearest store in the cities you’re traveling.
