Mr. Double Money Man
I'm looking forward to your trip to Japan soon ！
By the way, you said you booked on airbnb
I'd like to use it next time I go, but how do you pay ？
? I would like to use it when I go there, but how do I pay? ？ I am from overseas, so I pay by PayPal ？
And when I get there, do I pay by cash only ？ or by credit card?
And in Japan, can I pay by credit card for taxi now?

#281 Mr. Technician,

Oh, I see. I looked it up on the net and found that foods with "meat extract" in them are not allowed, too bad.


#282 Nihon-san,

Airbnb is an introduction site for only private accommodations that originated in the U.S. I guess there is a Japanese version, but in my case, I found it from an English site, so everything was done on the American site and payment was in dollars. I paid by credit card. I paid by credit card, but I did not check whether they take PayPal or not.

Regarding the number of payments, you can pay the full amount at the time the reservation is made, or you can split it into two payments, with the other half being deducted 5 days before arrival. The payment is fully controlled by Airbnb to ensure that there are no missed payments, and you can never make a deal directly with the host on site.

I am totally ignorant about cabs in Japan, but I learned from another topic that major cab companies create accounts for their customers like Uber in order to keep their customers who take cabs for company business, and they do not allow customers to pay in the car at all. However, just as Uber hardly works in Japan, it makes no sense for us travelers to open such an account just for the duration of our trip, and we also take cabs in places other than that cab company. Well, I think they take credit cards at major companies except private cabs, but I think the driver will not like it for short distances, and it is still safer to take a cab with a card and cash. If there is anyone who often travels to Japan on business, please let me know more about this matter.

thanks as always for your sincere advice.
I see that aibnb is managing the property, so that's a relief then. I had thought that I was supposed to negotiate financially with a private home.
I was worried that I would pay the money in advance and then be scammed ？ when I arrived.
Japanese cabs are clean and the seats are comfortable, but they are very expensive.
I still think cash is safer.
I used to be Citi Bank, so I could drop off my money at ATMs at the post office, but now I am WellsFargo, so
you can't drop off cash at the post office ？.

Now that the number of Chinese tourists has decreased, I don't understand why you recommend sleeping in the same room with strangers
when you can stay at the Ava Hotel for a few thousand yen extra.
When I returned last year, the APA Hotel near Narita Airport was less than 5,000 yen. When I returned last year, I stayed at APA hotel near Narita airport for less than 5,000 yen.
I don't get the point of staying at a private accommodation.

I thought airbnb wasn't sharing a room with someone else ？ I thought it was renting someone else's house, but the landlord isn't home during that time ？.
