In this article, we would like to provide you with basic information on holidaying in Japan. Although we have seen an increase in the number of shops and restaurants accepting credit card payments in recent years, still some shops accept cash (Japanese yen) only. Credit card payments are more available at urban areas and well-known tourist spots. However in country areas, where you reach after the search for traditional buildings and nature, we hardly see shops that accept credit cards.
