I’m just putting this as a warning. I absolutely do not understand the logistics of it but somehow my card got cloned at the self check-out counter in Takeshita Street. I normally do not use debit cards since the bank doesn’t care for fraud in those, but I used it in daiso because of the self check-out. Some days later 4 purchases for around 600 dollars appear in my account, and two of them with the same authorization number as the daiso purchase. The bank insists the purchases are attached to the daiso one and honestly it adds up because my card did not see the light of Tokyo except that one time. I assume since it’s a very touristy area and crowded it’s easiee to tamper with the counter. Anyways, hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else so just be careful!
