Details In this research, we investigated the recent trend of the diffusion of cashless payment in Japan by using the survey data of students in our institute during 2018 and 2021. Cashless payment has achieved remarkable development with the wide usage of smartphones and the prevalence of consequent smartphone-based system. Before the bar code, either two- and single-dimensional, was introduced in the cashless system, the major technology that was used is a smart card or integrated circuit card-based system. We investigated the behavior of technology adoptions to cashless payment, which we called “Smart Payment System” in 2018[5]. Since 2018, we conducted surveys and found that the effect of COVID-19 resulted in the increase adoption to the cashless payment system among students and the increase usage of credit cards.
