Here in
Japan, pretty much everything runs with cash.
You can make plane reservations online, then print the reservation and
pay for it at the 7-11! The ryokans
(Japanese inns) I’m staying at on this trip don’t take credit cards! Hotels and other accommodations anywhere else
would insist on having a credit card number. I’m not crazy about carrying cash
around, but that’s the way thing work here.

That's really strange. For some reason I thought Japan would be like Korea where everything can be payed for by card. I remember in Korea you could use a charged card to pay for subway fare, make a call and buy snacks at a 7-11 without ever having to take out your wallet.
I live in Connecticut and the only thing I can't do with my credit card (ok yes actually I think I could do this but its frowned upon) is tip the woman who does my pedicure. Always have to have cash for that.
Have a safe journey!
I wonder what the reason for cash only is. I'll have to google that!1
Merry Christmas
Here it's also cash for what you buy on a daily basis. Most companies don't take credit cards around here, but we have debit cards that you can use for paying. But cash is most common.
