If the credit card says JCB, VISA or MasterCard, you can do overseas shopping in Japan.

The bank cards that can be used for payment on overseas shopping websites are China UnionPay, American VISA, American MasterCard, American Express, and Japanese JCB (Jisme Card or Japan Financial Card).

Generally speaking, most of the cards with the China UnionPay logo are debit cards, which cannot be used for overdraft consumption, and most overseas shopping websites do not support UnionPay payment. Such cards generally use 62 opening card.

VISA and MasterCard cards with these two logos are generally dual-currency credit cards in China. Not only can they be overdrafted, but most overseas shopping websites can support payment. These two cards are the mainstay of our overseas shopping consumption. Among them, VISA cards usually start with 4, and MasterCard usually start with 5.

American Express is an American Express card, and most shopping websites in the United States support Express card purchases. If some American shopping websites do not support international VISA and MasterCard card payments, they will also have good support for American Express cards. Usually, American Express cards start with 3, and the card number is 15 digits instead of the common 16 digits.

The last JCB is a Japanese credit card organization, and cards with this logo are most suitable for shopping overseas in Japan.
