Not true.
If you read the web page a little more than just a "quick glance" you will notice that you can open an account by mail from ANYWHERE in Japan... And since 7-11 pretty much becomes your bank, you have little reason to actually set foot inside an actual "branch".... Ever. At least I never have had to yet and I've been with them at least a solid 18 months or so and I make pretty full use of all their services.
Glenski, in all the time we've known each other here on Dave's, do you not remember that I live neither in Tokyo nor Osaka nor Okayama?
