It’s just ridiculous how many different ones there are, many stores take all the usual ones but then you get some like コーナン that only take the less popular ones or smaller ones that don’t take any, need to carry cash just in case is the problem

Total fake news. Even the article itself mentions how cashless settlements have increased significantly in the last few years.
Have we not seen the amount of cashless payment options we have now? You can basically live without cash if you’re in most city-metro areas. Even bumfuck inaka cafes have Airpay terminals now that accepts visa to paypay. Maybe only like 5%-10% of the places require cash only.
Even Nenkin/Insurance payments allow cards these days. Article mentions old people still use cash but what the hell do you want them to do? Eventually that population will turn over.
Totally manufactured headline.

I still have to pay my utilities and newspaper delivery by cash. A guy literally comes around to every house to collect the money… It’s a joke 😂 getting a knock on the door and “hey, it’s the gas company, here’s the bill and please pay xxxx amount. You have to keep a certain amount of cash at home always for these things. When I went to buy my second hand car from the dealer they asked me to pay all in cash. Was like 80,0000 yen. I was shitting myself with that amount of money all in an envelope…

The worst is that most places take cash, some also take card, but a few totally random places don’t take cash -at all-
I got a credit card (finally, thanks Rakuten…) just in case I come across one again.
