Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.
If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.
Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?
Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,
Which airline do you think has the best food?
Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?
and so on and so onThis text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Sho,
> Android phones do not contain the FeliCa contactless chip developed by Apple and Docomo
That's exactly right. So, I don't think that Android will adopt Apple Pay in the future. Except for Japan, all credit card processing terminals in the US and other developed countries support both Google and Apple Pay.
> I bought a smartphone in Japan with overseas spec + Osaifu-Keitai
Does it support both Google Pay and Apple Pay? Or does "Osaifu-Keitai" in Japan automatically mean that it is compatible with Apple Pay? Also, what are "overseas specifications"? Do you mean the communication specifications of cell phone companies? Here in Japan, Verizon and Sprint use CDMA, while AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

> Does it support both Google Pay and Apple Pay?
Basically, iPhone supports Apple Pay and Android supports Google Pay. I don't think there are any models that support both ? I've never heard of it.
"Osaifu-Keitai" refers to a payment method using Felica. Osaifu-Keitai" includes Rakuten Edy, Seven's nanaco, and Docomo's iD. All of them offer rewards such as points, so I have the impression that there are many users in Japan.
> Also, what are "overseas specifications"? Do you mean the communication specifications of the cell phone companies? Here, Verizon and Sprint use CDMA, while AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM.
Overseas specifications refer to the different frequency bands of radio waves to be grabbed and the functions of the phone, which is a slightly different topic from the one we are discussing now, so let's leave it at that for now.
Felica is a type of NFC standard, a communication standard.
The difference between Type A/B and F is the communication speed, Type A/B is 424kbps while Type F is 848kbps, twice as fast.
For contactless payment,
・ payment terminal
・ payment register
・ payment method
all three must support the same NFC typePayment method
[Payment terminal]
Many overseas smartphones support only Type A/B, while Japanese smartphones support up to Type F with Felica.
( In reality, though, there is only one flimsy Felica sheet in Japanese smartphones. )
And of course, most US credit cards are only Type A/B compatible.
[Cashier]
In Japan, cashiers and other contactless payment terminals only support Type F. Most A/B are not supported.
[Payment Methods]
Felica is Type F payment.
Apple Pay and Google Pay are settled with Type A/B.
In other words, contactless payment is not available in Japan unless all three of the above are Type F compatible.
Then why are Apple Pay and Google Pay so popular in Japan?
That is because Apple Pay and Google Pay in Japan are currently settled via Felica such as iD in order to let them settle with Type F because the cash registers are not compatible with Type A/B. Apple Pay and Google Pay in Japan have the same name as their overseas counterparts, but the reality is that they are not the same. This is the reason why Google Pay and Apple Pay cannot be used in Japan.
By the way, Japanese cash registers have recently started to support Type A/B, and some stores are beginning to accept Type A/B payments.
If the cash registers support Type A/B, the above three conditions will be met, and Google Pay and Apple Pay will be available in Japan.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Notwithstanding the details, we are aware that new iPhone models released in the past few years, including those sold in the US market, have FeliCA chips and that iPhones bought ( and leased ) in the US can use Apple Pay in Japan.
On the other hand, is Google Pay currently available at NFC terminals in Japanese retailers? Well, I myself would not be interested in it at all if it didn't have Suica card functionality. Anyway, when I travel to Japan, especially when I pay for train fare, I need cash only to buy or recharge my Suica card, and I am so used to almost all payments here being by credit card that I have a big resistance to taking cash out of my wallet.This text has been translated by auto-translation.
