Obtaining cash from ATM machines in Japan just got a little more difficult for foreign travelers.

Seven Bank ATMs in Japan will no longer accept foreign-issued MasterCard credit cards. This also includes balance inquiry services.

According to Seven Bank's bulletin, this is "in response to a revision of conditions by MasterCard that it does not sustain the viability of the services from Seven Bank's perspective."

However, Visa, Diners Club, American Express and Discover cards are still welcome at Seven Bank's ATM machines.

Seven Bank hopes to continue dialog with MasterCard in the hope that they can restore services for MasterCard cardholders.
