💰 Trip Budget Guide
🏦 Getting Cash
Best approach: Use Charles Schwab or Capital One 360 checking (no foreign ATM fees, reimburses ATM fees). Avoid exchanging at airport — rates are ~3% worse. Pull cash from local 7-Eleven ATMs (available 24/7, accept most foreign cards).
How much to carry: Taiwan is becoming more card-friendly but many night markets and small shops are cash only. Carry NT$3,000–5,000 at all times. Japan is still very cash-heavy — carry ¥20,000–30,000 at all times.
🇹🇼
Taiwan ATMs: 7-Eleven (open all night), FamilyMart, and bank ATMs in MRT stations. Limit: usually NT$20,000 per withdrawal. Notify your bank before leaving.
🇯🇵
Japan ATMs: Seven Bank ATMs (inside 7-Eleven) are most reliable for foreign cards. Japan Post ATMs also work. Convenience store ATMs accept Visa/Mastercard/Cirrus/Plus.
💳
Credit cards: Taiwan: cards accepted at malls, restaurants, hotels. Night markets = cash only. Japan: increasingly accepted but always have cash. Convenience stores, most restaurants accept cards now.
📉
Best rate: Withdraw large amounts to minimize per-transaction fees. Don't use "Dynamic Currency Conversion" — always choose local currency (NT$ or ¥), not USD.
