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 on

I haven't been back to Japan for a long time, but I am so behind the times that I only accept cash.
It's inconvenient and dangerous to have to go all the way to an ATM.

These days, I use Apple Pay with Face ID on iPhoneX everywhere in the U.S. It's very easy and safe and I use it a lot.
It's not bulky in my pocket and I don't have to touch every bill that has more germs than a toilet bowl in a public restroom.
But it is impossible that Marukai does not accept Apple Pay.

Multifunctional automatic ticketing machines accept credit cards ？ I use them. I am confused because it asks for a PIN number, which is not necessary here, and I finally buy a ticket for Shinkansen with several credit cards, feeling sorry for the people behind me.

＞ Multifunctional automatic ticketing machines accept credit cards ？

That's not possible. At least JR accepts Suica IC card, but credit card is a no-no. From my little experience, the only time I was able to use my credit card at JR was the first time I bought a Suica card at "Midori-no madoguchi" at either Narita Airport station or Shinagawa station. Of course, the human staff at the counter took care of it. In the following YouTube video, it is Keisei station, but I think the ticket machines take IC cards from other companies. Even here, John's IC card is charged with money, so even he, who is a Japan expert, pays in cash.

＞ You are asked for PIN number which is not necessary here

Is there PIN number on credit cards? I don't think credit cards have a PIN number, although debit cards always have one. I myself don't have a PIN number and have never been asked for one.

Paying with Apple Pay or credit cards is convenient, but I tend to overspend.
I have to be careful because of the convenience.

With cash, I can actually see the amount of money going down, so I can control myself better.

＞ People these days don't carry cash because of their wallet cell phones

I wonder. I heard that "wallet cell phones" are quite popular in Japan compared to here, but I think it is quite low compared to the rate at which credit cards are used. I am sure that many people in Japan carry credit cards instead of cash, but there are still many places that do not take credit cards at the individual owner level, and moreover, when it comes to "wallet cell phones," they may not go so far as to install terminals that accept them. When I go to Japan, I notice that many stores accept electronic money such as Edy or WAON along with credit cards. I was surprised at first because we don't see them here at all. There is a separate terminal for accepting credit cards.
