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.
