More dynamic currency conversion coming to Japan?

I didn't know that DCC was in use in Japan but it has apparently been around since 2009, and there is now a deal in place between Travelex, UC and Itochu to expand its reach in preparation for the Olympics.

Be careful when using a foreign CC in Japan, particularly at tourist-oriented places, as you might get hosed on the exchange rate...
