E-Money in Japan: Overview througj videos

CScout Japan has posted a series of videos, showing how the Japanese are using contactless e-money cards or enabled cell phones, to pay for their subway fair, buy drinks from vending machines, purchase an airline ticket, check into a hotel room, pay for a public locker or pay for access to a public restroom.

Japan is well known for its well-developed e-money infrastructure. With RFID integration in mobile phones, train passes, and even loyalty cards for shops, it’s possible to do a great deal of your shopping and transportation without carrying cash or using a credit card either.
