Is it necessary to bring cash when traveling to Japan?

You don't need to bring cash to travel to Japan.

Generally, signing up for a group tour in Japan, the biggest consumption in Japan is shopping, and almost all shopping places in Japan can brush UnionPay identification cards. So you don't need to change too much yen. It is suggested to change it to 50 thousand yen.

Because some souvenirs or snacks can't be swiped, you need to prepare some cash. If you really don't have money, you can withdraw cash directly from the UnionPay machine in any 7- 1 1 convenience store, and the handling fee is a bit expensive, because there are Japanese local handling fees and domestic bank handling fees, which are generally around 25 yuan.

In the travel service warning issued by the National Tourism Administration, tourists are advised to negotiate with travel agencies to provide outbound travel guarantees in non-cash form. If cash is used as the guarantee, it is suggested to take the form of bank participation and tripartite management. The "outbound travel deposit" shall not be transferred to the personal account.

Specifically, tourists need to provide certificates of time deposits of more than 50,000 yuan for outbound travel. Visitors can open an account in a bank designated by the travel agency and deposit at least 50,000 yuan. After that, banks, travel agencies and tourists signed a tripartite agreement on fund supervision.

It is stipulated that the funds deposited by tourists will be temporarily frozen, and tourists will return as scheduled. After the travel agency agrees, the bank will unfreeze the funds; If the tourists fail to return as scheduled, the funds will be confiscated to subsidize the fine of the travel agency.
