Can you use Alipay or WeChat Pay at convenience stores in Japan?

Yes, the mainstream convenience stores in Japan basically support Alipay or WeChat payment, which is very convenient for foreign tourists.

  1. The whole family: Alipay and WeChat payment are explicitly supported. When checking out, explain to the clerk the corresponding payment method, just show the payment code, and use it to recharge the watermelon card.

  2. Rosen: As the first chain convenience store in Japan to access Alipay, all of its stores can use Alipay, and later also support WeChat payment. Previously, Alipay had promotional activities such as consumer rebate bonus.

  3. 7 - Eleven: This Japanese convenience store giant is also suitable for Alipay and WeChat. Whether it's buying snacks and bento or using some basic services in the store, most of these two payment methods can be used.

However, it should be noted that if you go to some particularly remote small private convenience stores, you may still only accept cash, and it is safer to keep a small amount of Japanese yen and coins on hand.
