Since Taiwanese travelers no longer need a visa to enter Japan, and with budget airlines offering competitive prices, Taiwan’s one-day travel radius now extends to Japan, just a 2-3 hour flight away. But how can you make every penny count without being affected by exchange rates?
Travel Japan with E.SUN Bank Three Must-Know Highlights
1.Credit CardsCPMaximize their value
If you’ve ever used a credit card abroad, you’ll know that no matter how favorable the exchange rate is, you’re still charged a transaction service fee. However, with E.SUN’s dual-currency credit card, not only do you avoid the 1.5% foreign transaction service fee, but you also get discounts at many Japanese merchants. For example, pick up beauty products perfect for gifting or personal use at Matsumoto Kiyoshi, or buy a toast-making gadget or a multifunctional cast iron grill at electronics retailer BicCamera, and enjoy 8% tax exemption and 7% discount on purchases before the end of June!
Additionally, you can team up with your besties to shop at RAKUTEN Duty Free in Tokyo’s Ginza – spend 10,000 yen and get 1,000 yen back, or shop at Namba CITY and NambaPARKS in Osaka to enjoy cashback promotions on spending before the end of September. There’s nothing more therapeutic than going on a shopping spree with your best friends!
If you haven’t started planning your Japan itinerary or booking accommodations yet, book a room via Agoda before the end of June to enjoy a 7% discount, or sign up for a one-day tour on kkday online, and you’ll save 10% on travel expenses with your card. Haven’t got an E.SUN dual-currency credit card yet? E.SUN Bank offers online credit card application services that you can easily complete via computer or mobile phone. New customers who make their first purchase over a certain amount will even receive a gift – time to take action!

2. Be Smart About Currency Exchange for Travel
In addition to using your card, having some local currency on hand gives you more flexibility. E.SUN Bank has set up 138 foreign currency ATMs that dispense Japanese yen across Taiwan. With any domestic bank-issued debit card, you can withdraw cash directly from these foreign currency ATMs without rushing to exchange money before the bank closes – very convenient for most busy office workers. Sometimes, the exchange rate via foreign currency ATMs is even better than exchanging at the counter.
