Credit card PIN （ pin numbers ） seem to be quite common in Japan.
When I went back to my hometown in Japan for the first time in several years, I was surprised to be asked several times when I paid by credit card.
However, in that case, if I said "no", I could use my credit card as usual, so I think it is up to the individual whether or not to set a PIN.

Also, some 100 yen stores such as Daiso do not accept credit cards in some areas.
Stores in central Tokyo and cities in Kanto accepted credit cards, but stores in the Hokuriku region only accepted cash.

Ticketbuyer,

In my spare time, I went to the ANA website and put in LAX-FUK 4/23 - 5/8, and got $ 787.13. Fare ： $ 520.00, tax/fee ： $ 267.13. Round trip $ 787.13 including domestic flights is not so bad. The route is LAX-HND-FUK.

The ANA site I enter is in Japanese, but they changed it for US based customers and the payment is handled in the US. Therefore, if a chickee-buyer enters the ANA site on a PC with Japanese display, it may be the Japan-based site at first, and the fares displayed may be different.

Terarena,

I see. I asked the same question on Yahoo Japan's "Chiebukuro" and got an answer that some
credit cards require a PIN. It seems to be more secure and more troublesome.

Whenever I use a credit card in Japan, I am always asked, "Do you want to pay once or in installments? I never get asked that here, so at first I didn't even understand what it meant.

Here, when you receive a statement, you can just decide whether you want to pay the full amount or just a small amount at that time. I always pay the full amount because if I split it into installments, the interest will be charged in the next month. I have Auto Pay to automatically deduct the interest from my bank.

Just the other day, I received an email from Costco VISA Card informing me that they no longer charge "Foreign Transaction Fees". This fee was about 3%, so if I spent $1,000 worth of purchases in Japan, it would be $30.

The Delta Amex Gold Card eliminated this fee 4 or 5 years ago, so when I went to Japan, I paid only with Amex. But from now on, both cards can be used in Japan, so I feel comfortable.
