Yes, Revolut works in Japan and is a popular choice for travelers looking to avoid high foreign exchange fees. You can use your Revolut card to pay at any merchant that accepts Visa or Mastercard, which is now very common in major Japanese cities. For cash, you can withdraw Japanese Yen at over 25,000 ATMs located in 7-Eleven convenience stores (7-Bank), which are known for accepting international cards. However, it is important to note that Revolut has a dedicated entity in Japan, and users with a Japanese Revolut account may have different features compared to those with UK or EU accounts. In 2026, it remains an excellent tool for real-time currency conversion, but you should still carry some physical cash, as many traditional shrines and smaller local eateries in Japan remain "cash only."
