Anyone used Wise card in Japan yet? Do most F&Bs there accept card?
I'm thinking to park in my JPY in Wise instead of converting at money changer in cash.

QUOTE(pub_yu @ Mar 6 2023, 03:01 PM) Tried in Tokyo - majority of F&B and shops accept Wise as long as they take Master/Visa. But you need cash for those smaller shops or family run biz. Got it. Btw, by any chance you also tried Japan atm withdrawal with the card too?Definitely risky to not hold any cash even though all accept Wise?   |

QUOTE(kenji1903 @ Mar 6 2023, 08:54 PM) I contacted Wise and they said as long as the ATM accepts Visa card, withdrawal is possible Still long way to go actually, in November. But exchange rate seems not bad at the moment which is why I figured I park in some money in Wise first. When you going bro? Mine is next month, I’ll let you know if can withdraw  Thanks do share your field report for the atm withdrawal  |

QUOTE(virgoguy @ Nov 21 2023, 12:45 PM) Which one u bought? Saw a few type there I used Hello1010 as well. Bought their E-Sim a few days before my flight, then only activated it when I reached Narita by connecting to friend's wifi hotspot. It's actually a Taiwanese telco sim so you need to turn on roaming in the settings. No issues on activation and data connectivity. |
