Sep 16, 2019 at 0:29 comment added Taladris @FranckDernoncourt: so that seems to answer (partially) the question. I have never been to Hakodate airport but, in my experience in Japan (8 visits, in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukushima, Okinawa, Tsushima,...), I have never had any problem with a Mastercard with ATMs that displayed the logo. The problem is to find an ATM that displays the Mastercard logo. They are not that common, even in large, touristy, commercial areas. It seems that post offices usually accept Mastercards.

Sep 15, 2019 at 20:54 comment added Franck Dernoncourt @Taladris visa and MasterCard logos were both present on the ATM
Sep 15, 2019 at 17:44 comment added mkennedy One of the sentences on the ATM slip translates to: Cannot read the card's magnetic data.
Sep 15, 2019 at 15:32 comment added simon at rcl @fkraiem Purely anecdotal, but some widely-available datasets used to train Machine Learning systems about credit card fraud show that a leading indicator of fraud is US nationality with age under mid-twenties..
Sep 15, 2019 at 14:56 comment added Taladris Stupid question but there were no card companies logo (Visa, MasterCard,...) on the ATM?
Sep 15, 2019 at 6:03 comment added fkraiem Sadly no, it seems almost random... US cards do seem to be more often problematic than, say, European ones, however.
Sep 15, 2019 at 5:44 comment added Franck Dernoncourt @fkraiem thanks for the information. Any idea what factor can make it a hit?
Sep 15, 2019 at 5:01 comment added fkraiem The second ATM is from Hokkaido Bank (北海道銀行); ATMs of regional banks rarely (never?) take foreign cards. The Aeon one supposedly does, but those things are very hit-and-miss.
