Western Union

If your wallet was stolen, what are you going to do? Ask your parents for sending money through Western Union? I know that is the best way to get money, suppoused to be fast and easy.
But there is a few western union agent in Japan, which is called Suruga Bank. They don't have branch in Fukuoka. Closest branch is Nagoya branch. If you have JR pass, it is not so big problem, but if it is not, you got a trouble.
There is 1 good option, if someone who is your friend or parents in your country has PayPal account, they could send it to someone who live in Japan. And then cash it out.
I think this is the easieset, fastest, and cheapest.

Credit Card works in Japan?

This is very strange thing, Most ATM machines don't accept international credit card in Japan.
Of course, you can buy the goods by credit card, but it doesn't work for cash out.
Why? I don't know !!!
But the only one place accepted for cash out is POST OFFICE.
There are many many post office throughout Japan, so it helps your travel.
Also from June 2007, Seven Bank would be accepted international credit card and bank card.
They will accept VISA, MASTER, AMEX, PLUS, Cirrus.
This is very good news for traveler.
Seven Bank ATM machine is installed in most of Seven Eleven convenience store.
