True, but knowing Japanese also helps me to do Google searches in Japanese as well. And as of today, I find nothing on Japanese issuers or acquirers or banks in promoting DCC to face-to-face merchant environments.

And the only website that I come across where Japanese acquirers provide DCC is for online businesses (which the example screenshot looks a lot like Amazon Japan)

For the most part, I think as of today, DCC doesn't happen in Japan unless one buys from Amazon Japan. And at least Amazon Japan gives you an option to choose to pay in JPY or home currency, so that's avoidable.

Of course I could be wrong and maybe American anime fans visiting Akihabara and splurging on otaku related items are getting ripped off by DCC scams.

But so far, this thread has shown examples mainly occuring in Europe and mainland China. Does anyone have a Japanese credit card receipt showing DCC in action in Japan? That would spark my interest in myself as well to be on the lookout when I go there.
