Indian tourists can now use UPI for payments in Japan via QR codes at participating merchants.
Indian tourists visiting Japan can now use India’s UPI digital payment system at participating merchants, following a deal between NPCI International Payments Ltd. and NTT DATA Japan.
The agreement allows QR code-based UPI payments through the CAFIS network, Japan’s largest card processing system, enhancing convenience for travelers.
This marks UPI’s first expansion into East Asia, supporting growing Indian tourism to Japan—over 208,000 visitors arrived between January and August 2025.
The move aims to reduce reliance on cash and forex cards, boost cross-border transactions, and support Japanese businesses.
