We spent three weeks in Japan shortly after it reopened to tourists in October 2022 and this is a vlog from our time in Osaka, where we tried several well-known Osaka foods: kushikatsu, okonomiyaki, tonkatsu and a famous cheesecake.

Have a great time in Japan from Korea
์ข์ ์๊ฐ๋ณด๋ด์ธ์
As a Japanese person lives in Japan, I would say there are reasons why japanese people love โ cashโ
first: people are so used to using cash for decades , Japanese people dont like to change
second: infrastructure
Japan has nice buldings or transportation system but however in terms of digitalization, were far behind of South Korea, US or other developed countries. we still need to do so many paper works at work and at city halls !
3. credit card companiesโ charge
Credit card companies in Japan used ti charge a huge commision on stores that use their credit card system. so small stores tended to reject the system otherwise they have to lose their profit!
well these are main reasons why japanese people love cash in my opinion ๐
Tell it like it is Steph. I personally suspicious of people that claim everything is great and beautiful ๐คซ

Cash onlyโฆ
Itโs always been that way but after working at a number of companies here.
I think the main reason is the cost of having a credit card machine/ having to maintain having credit card purchases (finance) and the credit card fees makes many smaller businesses less likely feel the need to have credit option.
Especially since many people here donโt mind paying with cash.
PayPay and other QR code payments systems came and made cashless payment a little more popular and then during COVID more cashless stores appeared but still not as much as neighboring countries.๐

Does Hays have a British accent?
Hello. It great to see you guys are having fun in Japan. BTW
I'm not a medical expert but I heard exposing sunlight to wound can cause scar. Maybe he needs bandage or large hat when going outside? I hope he's wound can heal well.

Applying scar cream/gel for Hays?
Yea during COVID they stopped letting customers share the sauce any more, which is sad cuz that has been Osakaโs tradition for a long time. I told you about no double dipping rule, but these days some places restarted shared sauce again. Osakaโs tradition is coming back again. ๐
