I really can't use credit cards in Japan
Only Japanese cards are accepted even if they are accepted.
It's so late.......

＞ I really can't use credit cards in Japan

Indeed ！ I wouldn't lose cash in my wallet for months if I didn't go to a nearby independent ramen shop. In contrast, when I travel to Japan, if I don't have at least tens of thousands of yen in cash in my pocket, I can't go out even for a step. Also, the 100,000 yen bills （ in your wallet ） will disappear in no time at all.

Especially in the rural areas where I go, I am often asked to pay in cash even at business hotels along the streets or at places where a single payment is only a few thousand yen, and I often wonder why I have to pay in cash, even for such a big business. However, when it comes to groceries, even if it is only a few hundred yen at a supermarket or convenience store, they will take my credit card.

The funny thing is that even now at the cash register, I am asked if I want to pay once or （ I forget the term, but here it is called ） revolver. Here you can just decide for yourself when you get your monthly credit card bill, but in Japan you have to choose one or the other at every payment stage. At first I had no idea what they were talking about.

Have you ever heard of the "automated gates" at major international airports in Japan? This is similar to the kiosk terminal at LAX, but it was created to avoid long lines at the immigration counter in Japan, and the main people who can pass through the gate are Japanese nationals and foreign nationals who have been in Japan legally for a long period of time. Those who frequently travel to and from Japan on business may already know this. When I arrived in Japan, I had to stand in long lines at the immigration counter when my arrival flights overlapped, and sometimes I had to stand still for 30 minutes to an hour even though I was at the peak of fatigue after a long flight. So, I looked for a way for foreign nationals to get through the "automated gate. I found this,

But if you read it carefully, it says "You must have traveled to Japan at least twice ， in the year prior to the day you appear at the registration office in Japan to register as a prospective user. I am disappointed that I cannot register because I will not go to Japan twice within a year. However, I will go to Japan in July this year, and if I go in June next year, it will be twice within a year, so I am thinking of going to Japan in June or earlier next year to try to register.

Did you hear that the A380 will be discontinued after 2021, even though they went to the trouble of widening the runway at LAX so that the A380 could land there. Singapore Airlines used to fly to Japan for a while, didn't they? They stopped using it halfway through, and now they are using 777 or some other Airbus model. I have flown on them only once. It was a short flight from Paris to London, about 30 minutes, using that big plane, but it was packed. When I got out of the plane, they gave me a certificate saying that I had boarded an A380. I could see everything from the runway to the landing, and since it was a big plane, it didn't shake, so I felt like I was on a big ship.

It's a shame about the A380, although it put a new spin on the aircraft.
But the speed of passenger plane is always slow.
I can't wait for SpaceX to be put to practical use... （ LA-Tokyo is only 20 minutes ）

Please don't use half standing seats in economy.
