Discount chain Don Quijote has launched what it calls an unprecedented service for tourists by accepting payment in seven foreign currencies.
Stores will accept the Chinese yuan, Taiwanese dollar, South Korean won, Thai baht, Hong Kong dollar, U.S. dollar and the euro.
The service, launched Wednesday, will be available at 20 branches nationwide, although most are located in the greater Tokyo region.
