Thanks for the heasd up everyone as I would have been a bit stuffed (my cards are Maestro). My normal travel plan involves just turning up and withdrawing enough cash for say a week from the nearest ATM. This has worked in South America, Tanzania, Europe and SE asia. That way when your mugged you don't loose too much cash at one time....
Wouldn't have expected it to be harder to get cash in Japan than in a small village in africa!
Anyway. as a rought guide so I know how much Yen to get how much is say dinner pp. at an average restaurant in Niseko? And the price of beer?
