American paying for things in Japan?

My daughter is going to Japan on her honeymoon. How should she pay for meals, purchases, etc.? Should she use a credit card or debit card? Does she need Yen for anything? Can you she use American currency? Any help will be appreciated.

I recommend credit cards for large purchases (over 10,000 Yen), if possible. And cash for the rest.

Does she need Yen for anything?

No, credit cards are widely accepted, too.

Can you she use American currency?

If paying in cash, only Yen is accepted.

She can pay with cash, or credit/debit. Its always good to have yen on one's person to pay in case a place didn't accept cash or credit.

Most hotels will accept credit/debit. But having cash in hand is always good to pay for the little things.

Only Japanese Currency is accepted.

It often surprises me how many Americans are not aware that most countries will only accepted their own currency for general cash payments, and not US dollars.

Well I'm American too and I don't think that. But there are many other countries in the world, especialy 3rd world nations that accept USD over their own home currency. Now, of course Japan is not a 3rd world nation.

Yes, I said "How many" there were, I didn't say all, or even most.
