I read somewhere that there are almost no ATMs (for foreigners) in Japan and almost no one accepts credit cards. Is this true? I took out a good amount of travelers checks just in case, but I want to know if I should bring some extra cash, just in case. I usually just hit up the ATMs when I'm abroad. It's easier and the rates are usually fine. If I bring money to change, I almost never change my currency in the airport, unless I'm in a country where the rates can be very good. Any recommendations about where to change the money? I'll be in Sapporo with a stopover to change planes in Tokyo for a month long trip.
