muikabochi 208 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 So don't flame me for starting a Niseko thread, ok? But seriously I remember the talk of there not being an ATM up there and find it rather odd. Has someone gone and made one yet or is it still ATM-less? Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 The Post office has one they always do. Also 7/11s that have ATMs are going international or have gone. Must find out the time restrictions but this is a big help. it should to push other stores like Lawsons into doing the same. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 is that right FT? So you should be able to use your local card from back home in them if they are for example cirrus? That would make life a little easier. Although, the PO ATMs already offer that. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 There's an ATM in SeicoMart at the T junction of the main road to Kutchan, bottom of Hirafu. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 This season select cards and I mean select cards could be used at the 7/11. As of about 2 weeks ago they went full international I think with plus and cirus cards. Me lodge now has great access to international banking lol. Sandy has all the details actually. SANDY?

The ATM in the Seicomart will only accept domestic cards. The ATM in the post office in Kutchan will accept foreign cards. More and more businesses in Hirafu are now accepting credit cards also.

thursday 1 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I'd like to see an international ATM in the Alpen. And perhaps one in the Prince. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Time to get a 7/11 into town then Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Interesting that there isn't a 7-11 there yet. I wonder why. They seem to swarm everywhere else, you'd think one there would be hugely popular. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 There is a couple of 7/11's down in Kutchan. One in Hirafu is definitely needed. Suposedly the Seicomart here has the highest turnover in Hokkaido during the winter months. Link to post Share on other sites

charlotte 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Wow look at all those 7-11s. A few in my area have actually closed in the last few years, don't know if that is against the trend or not. Link to post Share on other sites
