When do you need cash in Japan?

Although Japan is a country where card payments are increasingly accepted, cash is still widely used overall. Having JPY in cash on you is therefore a very good idea to ensure you can make purchases in all situations.

In large cities, you will be able to pay by card easily, but this method of payment is not as universal as it is in Europe or South Korea.

Some traditional restaurants, such as ramen-ya, local izakayas, small eateries, or canteens without table service, accept only cash. Some restaurants also operate with ticket vending machines that only take cash.

In temples and shrines, making donations and offerings is recommended, and this practice is done exclusively in cash.

Some traditional markets also rely exclusively on cash. To be safe, remember to carry JPY with you to avoid any frustration.

Overall, we recommend exchanging your AUD to JPY before your departure to benefit from better exchange rates. Travelling with yen in cash is also a good way to keep control of your travel budget.
