The Seven Bank machines in Japan&#8217;s roughly 20,000 7-Eleven stores are accessible around the clock, have English menus and accept foreign cards reliably. With a Mastercard or Maestro the withdrawal is free; with Visa it costs \u00a5110 (up to \u00a510,000) or \u00a5220 (from \u00a520,000). The limit is \u00a5100,000 per transaction.<\/p>\n<h3>How much does it cost to withdraw cash in Japan?<\/h3>\n<p>Between \u00a50 and \u00a5660 per withdrawal, depending on the machine, the card network and the time of day. Cheapest is Seven Bank at 7-Eleven: free with Mastercard, \u00a5110 to \u00a5220 with Visa. Japan Post charges \u00a5220, while MUFG takes \u00a5660 for most foreign cards. As of 12 September 2026.<\/p>\n<h3>Visa or Mastercard for Japan?<\/h3>\n<p>Mastercard, clearly, for withdrawing cash. Seven Bank charges nothing for Mastercard and Maestro cards but \u00a5110 to \u00a5220 for Visa. If you carry both, withdraw with the Mastercard. For paying in shops there is no meaningful difference.<\/p>\n<h3>Which ATM is most expensive in Japan?<\/h3>\n<p>MUFG. It charges \u00a5660 per withdrawal for most foreign cards and is free only for UnionPay, JCB and Discover. Summary listings sometimes show it incorrectly as a fee-free bank. Lawson and Family Mart machines can be similarly expensive at unfavourable hours.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the ATM fee in Japan depend on the time of day?<\/h3>\n<p>At several operators, yes. Lawson Bank, E-net and Resona charge less on weekdays during business hours than in the evening, at night or at weekends. At Lawson the range runs from \u00a50 to \u00a5660 for the same withdrawal. Weekdays between 8:45 and 18:00 is the cheapest window. At Seven Bank the hour makes no difference.<\/p>\n<h3>How much can I withdraw at once in Japan?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually \u00a550,000. Seven Bank allows \u00a5100,000, E-net \u00a5200,000 and Resona by far the highest at \u00a5500,000. Magnetic-stripe-only cards drop to \u00a530,000. Japanese machines dispense mainly \u00a510,000 notes.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need cash in Japan?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, more than most visitors expect. Card payment works well in Tokyo and Osaka in chains and larger restaurants, and Suica or Pasmo cover transport and kiosks. But small restaurants, temple entry fees, rural ryokan, markets and taxis outside the big cities remain cash only. Tipping is not customary.<\/p>\n<h3>Will my debit card work in Japan?<\/h3>\n<p>Only if it carries an international network and your bank has enabled withdrawals outside your home region. A credit card is more reliable \u2014 and for withdrawals specifically a Mastercard, because Seven Bank charges nothing for it. Check in your online banking before you travel that international use is switched on.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Japan the ATM fee depends on something that matters nowhere else: your card network and the time of day.
