Wow USD is really weak compared to 5 years ago.  Just checked the exchange rate and it's about $1 to 76 Yen.  I went to Japan in 2006 and it was about $1 to 105 yen.

No, I never had JCB card even when I was living in Japan.   And I'm not planning to app for it.  I have total of 9 ccs and I need to let it ages.

One of Japanese Grocery Stores ( we have three) here in San Diego, CA will take JCB card payments along with any Visa and MC, but not Discover and Amex.

The app page doesn't have language selection ...  you must live in within Japan to app along with age and income qualification.

Yes, it is.  I left there in Dec 2003.   It's not really good time to go there unless you have tons of money to spend in Japan money wise.   But it is good time to visit Japan ... soo many tasty autumn foods and tinted autumnal leaves everywhere.  I missed all of those good foods ~  Can someone take me ~  

Oh, you are so lucky ptr!
