Currency Conversion, Exchange Rates and ATMs in Japan


The Japanese landscape for payments has transformed in the last decade to keep pace with the revolution in digital and contactless payments. Still, for many smaller businesses (like ramen shops) or vendors outside the cities, cash is still king and it pays to keep sufficient currency on you when travelling in Japan.

It's just as well then that Japan is one of the safest countries in the world, but that still leaves the conundrum of how to get your currency and when to do so.

Read on to learn more about currency conversion or find out more about money in Japan in our guide.

Currency conversion: exchange rate tool

Withdrawing Cash at ATMs

One way to exchange currency is simply to use your card in a domestic ATM and let the operator/banks handle the exchange rate and conversion behind the scenes. Let's look at th

Exchanging Foreign Cash for Yen


Unlike many countries in Asia, Japan has few foreign exchange offices available for tourists, even in popular areas. This can be frustrating for tourists who carry local currency and do not want to exchange much at the airport. Naturally, no one wants to exchange all their money upon arrival at the airport. It is important to carry cash in Japan because there are many shops that accept cash payments only. In particular, some cash-only shops may only accept bills of 1,000 yen or less. Since cash is absolutely necessary, exchange offices should be quick and easy to use.




Cash Exchange Options:


● Exchange before departing your country: Least favorable exchange rates
● At the airport: Great for getting started when you arrive, but only for small amounts
● Hotels: The worst option for exchange rates, but fine for emergencies
● Banks: Slightly unfavorable rates, but also too much paperwork and time spent waiting (and closed weekends). Not recommended
● Exchange counters in the city: Best rates, faster service, and good for exchanging small amounts at a time.
