Tsushima Cash Withdrawal 2026: Izuhara Post Office ATM Guide

Planning a trip to Tsushima? One of the most crucial things you'll need is cash.

Tsushima doesn't have many convenience stores, which means ATMs are few and far between. Plus, many local shops still operate on a cash-only basis.

Even more importantly, when you return to Busan, you'll need to pay the departure tax in cash, making it absolutely essential to have Japanese Yen on hand.

I successfully withdrew cash using my Travel Wallet card at the Izuhara Post Office ATM, and I'm here to walk you through the entire process, step by step.

If you're in a hurry and standing right in front of the ATM, just scroll down to the table at the end for a quick reference!

The ATM I used is conveniently located at the Izuhara Post Office, right in the heart of Izuhara's downtown area.

It's also right next to the Toyoko Inn Tsushima Izuhara Hotel, which I reviewed in a previous post, making it incredibly easy to stop by right after leaving your accommodation.

The post office's operating hours and the ATM's operating hours are different!

The ATM operating hours are:

Weekdays & Saturdays: 08:00 AM - 08:00 PM

Sundays & Holidays: 09:00 AM - 08:00 PM

As you enter, you'll find two ATMs located on your right.

How to Withdraw Cash

1. Select Language on the First Screen

When the initial Japanese screen appears, select English Guide located at the bottom right.

2. Select Transaction Type

Once the screen changes to English, select WITHDRAWAL and then insert your card.

3. Select Cards Issued Overseas

On the screen, choose CARDS ISSUED OVERSEAS.

4. Select Card Type

From the card brand selection screen, choose the option that matches your card.

Since I was using a Travel Wallet card, I selected TW VISA.

If you have a Mastercard, a separate Mastercard selection option might appear.

5. Enter PIN (Personal Identification Number)

On the PIN NUMBER screen, enter your card's PIN and then press ENTER.

📌 Important: If your PIN is 1234, you might need to enter it as 1234 + 00, meaning 123400, for some Japanese ATMs.

6. Enter Withdrawal Amount

On the AMOUNT screen, enter the desired amount and press YEN!

📌 You can withdraw up to 50,000 JPY (approximately ~$306) per single transaction. For example, you can withdraw 5 x 10,000 JPY bills or 10 x 1,000 JPY bills.

7. Confirm Amount

A screen will appear asking you to confirm the withdrawal amount. After verifying, press ENTER.

Next, you'll see a notice about potential fees. Press ENTER to proceed.

8. Confirm Fees

This screen shows the ATM usage fee. The ACCESS FEE is 220 JPY (approximately ~$1).

Even if you withdraw the maximum 50,000 JPY, the fee remains the same at 220 JPY. Once you've confirmed, press ENTER to move on.

9. Collect Card / Receipt / Cash

Finally, your card, receipt, and cash will be dispensed in that order. Make sure to collect everything, and you're all set!

Quick Reference Guide

If you're in a rush at the ATM, simply follow these steps:

This was my first time withdrawing cash from a post office ATM in Japan, so I was a bit worried, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy!

I had heard some concerns that post office ATMs might not work for international cards, but my Travel Wallet card worked perfectly. Happy travels!
