"Hell, the gas man would pass me on the street randomly, hand me my bill and expect that I would pay him on the spot. Different culture :-)"

That's weird. I mean, Japan is still cash-centric, but at least you can take your pile of cash to the combini to pay the utility bill. :-D

Was it one of those kerosene guys in the little muscial trucks?

No. Normal gas company. But my gas company at the time was a super small one (just the local area), so I think they didn't have a sophisticated billing system. I'm with the regional gas company now and it's normal billing system.
