You mean the Visa chip card has problems in Japan?

My was OK this trip for 3 days, totaling about 10 chip transactions and 20 swipe transactions. Of course it was in Tokyo.

Interestingly Japan has a lower CC acceptance rate than Korea (to me). Majority of the people still carry tons of coins. Of course we needed some too, when buying bottled drinks and ordering ramen
