While getting ready for an overseas trip, I was concerned about card security, so I packed an RFID-blocking wallet. On my recent trip to Japan, I used this wallet, which was in the ₩10,000 range, instead of my usual wallet. I mainly used a travel check card during the trip, but I also brought a credit card as a backup and kept it in there. ![RFID-blocking wallet I packed and used for overseas travel](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-01-gc0i8-966.webp) It arrived boxed. I thought it would also make a nice gift for an adult about to travel. ![RFID-blocking wallet prepared for a trip to Japan](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-02-jfnrv-966.webp) ![Travel RFID-blocking wallet used to store Japanese yen](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-03-e4ip6-966.webp) ## How was it to carry around while traveling? There is a ring on the side of the wallet, so it can be used like a bag. I thought it could work as a small secondary bag to pull out separately when wearing a backpack, too. ![Ring on a travel wallet that can be used like a bag](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-04-fl18u-966.webp) ![Shape of an RFID-blocking wallet with a side ring](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-05-1psdv-966.webp) It opens and closes with an elastic band, so it was easy to use. Once secured with the band, I worried less about it springing open. It was light and slim, making it easy to carry or store during the trip. ![Travel RFID-blocking wallet with an elastic-band closure](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-06-1s971-966.webp) ## How did I separate my cards and yen? When you open the wallet, there are several pockets for separating cards. You can also keep a passport in the clear window, but for this trip I used a separate family passport holder. ![Inside pockets and compartments of an open travel wallet](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-07-1kj4c-966.webp) The bill compartment has a zip pocket. I tend to drop things, so I put my 5,000-yen notes in the zip pocket and kept the 1,000-yen notes I would use often at the front. ![Travel wallet compartment with separated Japanese yen notes](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-08-df5wj-966.webp) ![Zip pocket and front bill compartment of a travel wallet](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-09-n2db8-966.webp) I was a little concerned about carrying a backup credit card, but having it in an RFID-blocking wallet made me feel much more at ease. ![RFID-blocking wallet used to store cards while traveling](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-10-1pi0n-966.webp) ![Travel wallet carried with cards and cash](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-11-iy10j-966.webp) The yen notes fit comfortably without having to crumple them. It was nice to pack lightly and use it as a travel wallet in place of my everyday one. ![Wallet compartment holding Japanese yen notes comfortably](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-12-uxfwj-966.webp) ![RFID-blocking wallet used for travel instead of an everyday wallet](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-13-1vkj9-966.webp) ![Travel wallet that can hold a passport and coins](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-14-1sr2f-966.webp) ## Can it store coins and Korean won too? There is a space for coins, too. Since there were places that took cash during my Japan trip, I found the coin compartment useful. ![Wallet compartment used to store cash while traveling](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-15-13e32-966.webp) ![Interior of a travel wallet for separating cash](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-16-1sn1l-966.webp) The bill section has some depth, and including the zip pocket, it is divided into three sections in total. I could separate yen and Korean won, which was handy for keeping them from getting mixed up. ![Bill compartment divided into a zip pocket and inner sections](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-17-xg372-966.webp) ![Wallet interior for separating Japanese yen and Korean won](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-18-1wmkz-966.webp) After putting cash inside and closing the zipper, I worried less that the money might fall out easily. ![Travel wallet storing cash securely](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-19-cbpoy-966.webp) ## What about passport storage and optional items? I placed it next to a passport to compare their sizes. When traveling alone, I thought it could be convenient to keep the passport in the wallet as well. ![Travel RFID-blocking wallet compared in size with a passport](https://img.superchart.com/images/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage-20-p3ai9-966.webp) At the time of writing, it could be ordered from Naver Store. A Japanese coin holder was a separately purchased item, and since I already had one I used, I did not add it. On this trip, I especially appreciated that it was slim and light while letting me separate my bills. ## Products - RFID-blocking wallet - 만원대(작성자 기준, 원문 작성 시점) (Mar 6, 2026) - 네이버 스토어 — 상세 판매처 미기재. 일본 동전보관함은 별도 구매 가능 --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@inside-slowly/rfid-wallet-japan-travel-storage/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
