    One peculiar Japanese practise is that a lot of people prefer to trade in cash. Credit cards are therefore not really as popular as in comparable western countries.
    Perhaps one thing that encourages people to walk around with bundles of cash in their wallets is the safety record around Japan. Consumers feel safe walking around like that
