And with Japan having a largely cash-driven economy, as opposed to card-driven, the ATM’s made it easy to pull Yen directly from a debit card, including the conversion fee.
It used to be Japan Post (which had hours even for external ATMs) and 7-11 were the only places to take out money with a foreign debit card. I think it’s better now, but I’m not sure (I’ve been living in Japan for over a decade so not usually something I need to consider).
Yeah I used their ATM to withdraw money while on vacation. Almost all 7-Eleven have an ATM so that’s convenient.
