Abstract In this paper, we have addressed the specificity of Japan’s cashless payments in comparison to other economies, particularly countries from North-East Asia, and have considered the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. The specificity of Japan’s cashless payments can be explained by both external and internal reasons. Our major finding is that COVID-19 pandemic has slightly trigged further development of cashless payments in Japan, however, numerous domestic factors still impede this process. Digitalization of the Japanese economy might positively affect further promotion of cashless payments.
