Can I Upload My Passport Information Later If I Left It at the Hotel?

Unfortunately, no. According to Japanese tax refund regulations, you must present your original, valid passport (or Visit Japan Web Tax-free QR code) at the store or PIE VAT tax-free counter when requesting a tax refund. Photocopies and screenshots are not accepted.

These regulations are strictly enforced by the Japanese tax authority, and we must comply with them.
