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
좋은 시간보내세요
As a Japanese person lives in Japan, I would say there are reasons why japanese people love “ cash”
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 companies’ 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 🙂
Tell it like it is Steph. I personally suspicious of people that claim everything is great and beautiful 🤫
日本人は基本デジタルのお金は信用してないのです。なぜならネットのお金は盗まれたりします。実際そういう犯罪は日本では多いです。
지금은 인도 여행을 하고 계신가요? 인도는 알면 알수록 매력이 있는 나라입니다. 재밌는 여행 하세요. 그리고 한국은 잊지 않길 바랍니다. ^^
steph and pete and hazelnut you all are the best family i love your conet it is not over the top and yes i am the regular since you were in south africa through thick and thin i will support you guys love from SA
Cash only…
It’s 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 don’t 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.😅
사랑스런 헤이즈의 얼굴상처가 흉터지지 않아얄텐데 맘이 졸여져요.크면서 옅어지기를 바랍니다.항상 안전하고,즐거운 여행되세요.
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.
헤이즈가 또래 친구들과 즐거운 시간을 보내는 모습이 너무 사랑스럽네요 ㅎㅎ 돈까스도 너무 맛있어 보여요!!
몇몇 한국분들의 헤이즈 얼굴에 흉터 걱정을 하는 이유는 한국은 부모가 준 신체를 잘 간수해야 한다는 전통적인 사고가 있고 또 최대한 몸을 흉터없이 간수해야 미적으로도 좋다고 생각하는 것 때문이니 이해해주세요 ㅎㅎ
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 Osaka’s tradition for a long time. I told you about no double dipping rule, but these days some places restarted shared sauce again. Osaka’s tradition is coming back again. 😎
