Before covid-19 most places in japan accepted only cash. Pretty much only major chains were guaranteed to support electronic payments.

But the major places apparently really liked to accept cards - the only place I ever got to pay less (6% off!) by paying with card was in Yodobashi Camera in 2017.

In comparison here in Europe many smaller shops still refuse to take cards or you used to be charged extra when paying with card.

Depends on the country, in France you can pay anywhere by card, including at outdoor market stalls...
