Contactless virtual Visa card payments in Yodobashi, Japan

Contactless virtual Visa card payments in Yodobashi, Japan - Mature taxi driver in vehicle during trip

Can someone living in Japan please find out if contactless payments made through Google Pay or Apple Pay are accepted in Yodobashi? And specifically, if they are done through a virtual Visa card through one of these systems, if they are eligible for the special 5% tourist discount paying with Visa card (on top of the standard 8% tourist discount).

The reason is that I want to make a large purchase and my card issuer recently switched to MasterCard for physical cards. But I still have one virtual Visa card.

Thank you!
