We are going to be in major cities in Japan for a week. We have our iPhones with Suica cards pre-loaded and our usual visa and debit cards on our phones as well as well as physical cards if needed. Is there any situation that requires cash? Like markets, taxis, street vendors?
On most trips I carry about $50 worth of local currency for the odd situation where cash is the only option (or more if taxis are an important form of transportation and Uber isn’t an option). Is that wise in Japan as well even though most travel will be on metro/trains?
