I remember when i went to Japn back in 2017 i almost exclusively used cash but every since covid japan has been more accepting of alternative payments such as credit cards/debit cards and mobile payments (PayPay, Line Pay). /blog/day-two-arriving-to-japan/ Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/day-two-arriving-to-japan/ So day two stars with arriving at the airport everything when through pretty seamlessly having already completed my immigration application online before arrival. All I had to do was show them the QR code they had given me and had to go through a few gates to get my photos taken and fingerprint scanned honestly it was quicker than the last time I came to Japan as I had to manually fill in forms when I arrived since I had to fill it all online before arrival they had all the details and the immigration check was quick and easy.
