I'm planning to travel to Japan soon and I'm wondering if I can use
Apple Pay there. I've heard that it's a convenient and secure way to pay, but I'm not sure if it's widely accepted in Japan.

Additionally, there are a few exceptions for older devices. If you have an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, you can still use Apple Pay in Japan.

In order to utilize
Apple Pay for shopping in Japanese stores, you must possess a compatible device.

But there's a catch: these devices must have been purchased within Japan. This restriction applies to ensure compatibility with the local payment infrastructure.

Similarly, an Apple Watch Series 2 purchased in Japan can also be used for Apple Pay transactions.

Specifically, an iPhone 8 or a newer model is required, as these smartphones support the necessary technology for Apple Pay.
