Is it better to pay the hotel using credit card there or use cash to pay for it?

just to add on about the Hakone 2 day pass

even if you are doing Hakone as a day trip, the pass will work out due to the cost of the boat, gondola, tram and train up to Gora will more than cover the cost of the pass itself.

If you are staying overnight there, it gives even more savings

personal preference I guess.


credit card will have admin charges for overseas usage. but if u have cards that have good rebates or u are accumulating points/mileage, then maybe it is worth it. just note that some smaller hotels may not accept credit cards, so must make sure first.


I personally prefer using cash

You also don't have to worry about being DCC when using Visa/MC. Japan is very compliant unlike China or some other countries.

Yeah it's possible. You'll definitely be returning since one day is definitely not enough.

Try this website if your Chinese is A+, he's a Kansai region expert. Unfortunately for me I can't read chinese..... :( Need to find a taiwan gf....
