You might be surprise but credit card payment for little amount is still not popular in Japan.
Most people use credit card when they spend for large amount.
Some stores may not accept credit card for small amount as well.
So in that case, we usually use pre-paid IC Card.
We unconsciously separate depending on what we buy.
The most popular brand is SUICA!
You charge money on it in advace, and will be able to use to ride on train, bus, taxi, convenience store, vending machine and more!
Its hard to find store that that won’t accept it.
There are also refounds service at JR ticket windows.
There is a charge of 220 yen to return a Suica card, which is deducted from the total.
For refunds, a fee of 220 yen is subtracted from the total, and then the initial 500 yen deposit is added.
In case you use up the balance, why don’t you keep SUICA as souvenir!
Anyway, SUICA is the most wide-spreaded payment in Japan, You must have it!
