When Japanese people give money during a visit to a temple or a shrine, they usually put it in a collection box. Recently, some temples and shrines have started to receive donations using smartphones. Visitors enter the amount they’re donating into a tablet, which is placed next to the collection box, and pay using a QR code or other method. While some people are against this – saying it would probably not bring them good luck – being convenient for foreigners, cashless transactions have become standard when paying for goods.
