Services and Items Specially Recommended for Foreign Visitors to Japan

As inbound tourism grows, businesses and stores welcoming foreign visitors face challenges in payment methods. In particular, many tourist spots and small shops still require cash payments. To address this issue, Seven Bank has expanded its services for international visitors. With over 27,000 ATMs nationwide, visitors can use overseas-issued cards and recharge transportation IC cards with cash.

Moreover, more than 90% of foreign visitors can be accommodated through language support. The ATMs also have an intercom that provides 24/7 support in English and Japanese, to make sure that customers do not have to worry with the operation.

For international visitors accustomed to sweet breakfasts with fruits and cereals, Denny’s “Select Morning” is an excellent option. With five main dishes and seven side sets to mix and match freely, this menu caters to both those who prefer savory and those who enjoy sweet breakfasts. Side options include toast, pancakes, mini French toast, as well as a traditional rice and miso soup set.

Shine Muscat, a luxury fruit, is a popular fruit worldwide. This product has gained attention, especially among tourists from China, South Korea, and Taiwan, becoming a social media sensation. Sales have increased more than tenfold nationwide in just six months. These gummies, infused with Japanese Shine Muscat juice and coated with chocolate, offer a novel taste experience.

Soft and moist sandwich bread-rarely found abroad-has gained popularity among tourists from the U.S., U.K., Australia, and South Korea. The fluffy bread and creamy egg filling makes this a must-try item, especially at airport and tourist area stores.

Tonkatsu (Japanese pork cutlet) has become a global trend, now known as "Katsu" in Western countries. A key accompaniment-fluffy, crunchy shredded cabbage-can now be easily made at home using this specialized peeler.

Simply slide it over the surface to create fine shredded cabbage like those served in restaurants in Japan. The patented double-blade design allows quick and efficient slicing.

Japanese high-quality fruits are highly regarded overseas. Among them, fruits such as strawberries, Shine Muscat grapes and peaches are particularly popular.

Ito-Yokado's original brand, "Sweets King," offers fruits carefully selected for their seasonal deliciousness and sweetness. Their exquisite taste has made "Sweets King" strawberries especially popular, frequently introduced by international influencers.

With the increasing number of foreign visitors to Japan, high-quality and large strawberries are in high demand. Eating "delicious Japanese fruits" is becoming a highlight of travel in Japan.

Recently, as "Japanese-style" travel has gained popularity, more people are purchasing ready-to-eat sushi, wagashi (Japanese sweets), and other traditional foods at supermarkets, or staying in hotels with kitchens to experience "Japanese food culture" firsthand. This trend of enjoying "the Japanese way of life" is spreading.
