"Unlike other countries you still need to take a credit card (and maybe even some cash) as backup"

"still"

I take a reliable CC and cash any fucking day over Apple and Google Pay or any shit payment "app" like Revolut which simply blocks you out of your account if on a device they seem to not like / that is not attested, while preventing browser-based usage.

You stupid tech bros. Appps, apps, apps, everything via an app.

Even the Tokio metro paper tickets via cash work well. No phone needed!

Well you'd hate Japan then since everybody is using PayPay. Which is an app and not even a standard like Google Pay or Apple Pay.

Sorry, complaints about our payment policy are handled through the Complaintly app, which is available for Apple and Android devices.
