Does Japan charge an extra departure tax if you depart from a different airport than your arrival?

Not sure what exactly the person you were talking to was trying to convey, but even if there were higher taxes in that situation, you have to take the whole trip in consideration and compare for yourself.

Taking 3 random dates (July 5, 12 and 17 respectively for each of the 3 legs), I see the following possible return flights (with IST-ICN and ICN-KIX non-stop in all cases):

  • KIX-ICN-IST (no direct flight possible): from 1102 euros.

  • TYO-ICN-IST: from 867 euros.

  • TYO-IST non-stop: from 1261 euros.

Fares may vary with differing dates, flights, classes, etc. of course, but it’s obvious that leaving from Tokyo does not necessarily make things more expensive per se.

As far as I’m aware, that’s not true. There are departure taxes which vary slightly based on the airport you use, but it makes no difference if you arrived at the same one or not. Simple counterexample: if you book a one-way flight out of Japan, you’re not asked where you flew into on your way in.

There are two international airports in Tokyo, namely Narita and Haneda. At time of writing, Narita Airport charges 2610 yen if departing from Terminal 1 or 2, or 1540 yen if leaving from Terminal 3, which is used by low cost carriers only: https://www.narita-airport.jp/en/faq_ask/psfc

Haneda Airport charges 2570 yen: http://www.haneda-airport.jp/inter/en/dept/psfc.html
