Can I use my credit card or debit card in Hakuba?
Evergreen accepts most credit cards, both Japanese and foreign-issued. Around Hakuba you are strongly advised to carry cash and not rely on Hakuba services for credit transactions. Cash advances by credit card can be done at the Post Offices and at 7-11 convenience stores, but some cards don’t work and most places don’t have credit card facilities – Japan is very much a cash-based society. Check with your service providers before you arrive, or get out enough cash. Dealing with money matters in Hakuba can be time consuming and unproductive.
