Do not you see what you see in shops in Japan is "credit settlement impossible". In developed countries in Europe there are many countries with signs that "cash is not accepted" on the contrary.
Only cards are on sale machines such as railroads and buses. Taxi is also card settlement only. In addition, public toilets in the station's home etc. are also commonly charged in Europe, but there are also cashless payment there, and it is only payment
The cashless ratio in Japan is about 20% if it is the latest data. Compared to 60% in China and 46% in the US, Japan's cashless implementation is behind schedule. The Japanese government has set a policy of doubling the cashless ratio by 40% by 2020, but cash settlement is common in Japan, so even if it is going to advance credit card settlement and mobile payment, consumers and Business operators are not aggressive either. However, Japan has fallen into a chronic shortage of manpower, and as a society, we must promote cashlessness and increase productivity. Also, increasing the cashless ratio as a basis for creating new services is absolutely essential to enhance the quality of life in the Japanese economy and citizens in the future.
