Every Japanese bank operates its ATMs on a specific schedule. Located in the Nanae Yakuba (town office), this Hakodate Shinyou Kinko ATM closes at 6pm every day, and imposes a surcharge for withdrawals during the weekend. Despite the occasional inconvenience these schedules might cause, Japanese ATMs are excellent tools for managing finances.

Showing such an everyday transaction really gives a feel for how
different things are in Japan, and what it’s like not to understand or
read the language.
Your video posts have been fabulous!
