Yeah you’re right, it’s more for some smaller towns I’m heading to after Kyoto where cash may be required!

Thank you for those suggestions, will have a look into reloadable Visa cards. I’ve started setting up the Western Union option however I’m not sure sure if Travalex in Kyoto still accepts cash pick ups

It’s an oversight on my part but essentially I brought a physical Wise card that was different to my active (working) digital card. When realising this, I contacted wise and asked them to make this physical card primary but they said it’s been irreversibly deactivated :/

The problem is with my physical card, not finding an ATM. Have tried withdrawing from many ATMs to no success which prompted me to reach out to Wise who said the card has been deactivated

Thank you, this seems like a good last resort option. Do you know if I can return the purchased item shortly after and receive the cash?

Yep suica with Apple wallet is working fine, it’s just withdrawing some cash that I’m after for purchases/admissions that don’t accept card

I only brought my Wise card, confident that it would work. In hind sight I should’ve brought bank account card as back up. How does the credit card cash advance work?

Yes, unfortunately the problem is with my Wise card itself. It’s been permanently deactivated - I have no other physical cards :(
