Interesting -- just got back from Japan, traveling in smaller communities. Almost all of our transactions were in cash.

- marak830 10y agoYes while travelling it's a huge cash based society here, but Tokyo/yokohama are really leaning towards cards/suica(the train ticket pre-charge card)/Edi(mobile phone payment system) and such.
- kalleboo 10y agoRestaurants and anything mom&pop will probably be cash-only, but pretty much anything that's a chain (big supermarkets, stores in malls with their own branded cards [includes JR train stations], etc) tends to support electronic payments. I find a lot of places may accept cards if you ask them, but they don't have card logo stickers anywhere or a prominent card reader.
