Wouldn't be surprised if the blind pay for stuff using their mobile phones these days!Originally Posted by GoktimusPrime
Hey wow... so I got some Japanese Yen today... and it's been a while since I've handled JPY, but I can't find the small "Braille" circles on the bottom of the notes that help blind people tell which note is what denomination! I've got several different denominations of notes and none of them have it!
....
So... this must suck for the blind.

True. I noticed a lot of people are using that "tap and go" mobile phone payment system over there!

Loving all the pics! I've only spent a single day in Kyoto, and didn't venture more than a kilometer or 2 from the station, so those shots are especially awesome
