I wonder why the prices here (https://www.kuronekoyamato.co.jp/ytc/scn/send/services/takky...) are so specific (not rounded off). Am I right that this is a general trend in Japan?

Yes, that's perfectly normal. It's not like the US where everything is $x.99. Prices can be anything. With the latest inflation, they've been going up, but I'm guessing they just make a calculation for what the price should be based on their costs, whereas in the US they always round up to do the x.99 thing.

In general, it's shenanigans with the display of VAT.

In Yamato's case, they make paying cashless a tiny bit cheaper because handling cash is a time sink for their couriers
