Travel to Japan and pay your way via GCash

Around 4 hours away from Manila by plane, Japan is a small island, but packed with so much to do and so much to see—some of those who have been swear by the fact that spending 3 days and 2 nights in its capital, Tokyo, is not enough. To do the country properly and give justice to it, a week might just be enough, but that will all depend on how much you would want to immerse yourself into all things Japanese!

One thing’s for sure, it’s easy to get carried away with spending Yen when you’re there. Besides the classic YOLO mentality, there’s simply a lot to eat, shops to visit, and places you won’t find anywhere else. Good thing GCash is now present in prominent shops and destinations all over the island—you can take a hold of your budget by spending less on foreign exchange fees, stay safe with cashless transactions, and enjoy exclusive promos while having fun.
