Destination-specific money tips

  • Carry cash, especially for smaller, local establishments and transport tickets.
  • 7-Eleven ATMs are your best bet for reliable international withdrawals.
  • While many places accept cards, some smaller restaurants or shops might be cash-only.
  • Don't expect to tip; it's not part of Japanese culture and can be confusing.
  • Consider a Japan Rail Pass if you plan extensive travel outside Hiroshima within a short period, though for Hiroshima itself, local transport is affordable.
