Or are there machines that can recharge AliPay balance using cash? Not sure if you guys travel to Japan, but Japan is just perfect. I can recharge IC at every transit station.
I've heard about https://swapsy.com/ but haven't used it. I'm sure you could give cash to a hotel person to be honest. ATMs or other machines don't accept Alipay from what I've seen.
