This was super helpful. After lodging reservations and JRPASS, im bringing $3k worth in yen and $2k on my credit card. For the two weeks ill be in Tokyo and Kyoto. My local bank had a better rate and low fee for ordering Japanese yen in the US.

Japan. The only country in the world where you can fearlessly carry more than $500 in cash without getting in serious trouble with the police.
can you used a MasterCard paypal to japan
Where do I go to exchange my US DOLLARS TO YEN?
Is 10k usd really 1 million in yen
Hi! I loved your videos! Question, would you recommend bringing yen from our respective home countries or exchanging dollars in narita airport?
Is 100000 thousands yen enough to trip to japan ?
When you say credit card, do you mean credit cards only or credit and debit cards???
Doesn't the airport have a kiosk that takes change and convert to your native currency to code that you can use at any store back home
hi
um,… ahem,… hahaha! you happily don't have to worry about this but,… otoshidama ( New Year Day money gifts to children), money contributions for funerals. (^_^)
Got a pretty good exchange rate at the exchange machine at the hotel lobby. I would check what the machine gave, then checked the rate on my phone and it was fairly close. Really easy and didn't use any cards at all.
4:52 "English numbers"????? wtf????
Iโm going to Japan without a credit card. Iโm taking cash and my debit. Is this recommended?
There's one problem on my Credit Card. When I came from "One Piece Restaurant Baratie" at the 7th floor of Fuji TV Building. There's a Credit Card machine for paying (black, portable, & small). Where's to press my 'pin number' after inserted my Credit Card but it has "Japanese writing electronically"????? It's so embarrassing.
How many languages do you speak? English, Japanese, I would guess French as well?
Bank of America is the best bank because they're in America and japan
I just use google translate to translate currency exchange to Japanese and look for this word ไธกๆฟ, Japanese will understand.
a good way to get rid of your 1 yen coins is to look for those charity donation boxes and drop them in there. i've seen them at mcdonalds and the most ingenious place i've seen them is at the airport before you get to your gate.
I read somewhere that ATMs closes at 8pm. Does the ATMs inside convenience stores also close at 8PM?
As a simple rule: 10,000 Yen is a lot of money. 1,000 Yen not so much. ๐
Thanks so much! That was really informative. I really appreciate it very much! I am traveling there next week!! Keep up the great work!
I think I missed it, but did you say i could buy yen before I go to Japan? Or do I need to convert when I'm in the country? I heard it's cheaper(better exchange rate) if I do it once I arrive, but not sure if that's true?
Will you be in japan for Halloween this year?
Hi Amy Iโm planning to go japan next year Iโm not eligible for a credit card… is the any cards I can top up money with so I donโt have to carry money around
I just finished my 2 weeks in Tokyo, and I'm currently sitting in Haneda Airport now. Super fun trip! I brought 20,000๏ฟฅ ($2,000). I had way more money than I needed. I got my money at my home bank. Everything for me went really smoothly so far.

Only three months for my first trip to Tokyo. Thank you for some great advice.
Cash was the one thing I hadn't had any problems.
I got some beforehand, just to get over the first day, buy my suica etc. and after that I got my money from atms.
Lawsons, 7-11 and family mart are nearly everywhere and most of them (in tokyo) had an atm. even the fees weren't that high. I had to pay 108Yen for 50000Yen to the local bank and my bank charged 1.75% for "foreign use", but even with the fees I got more money than in the local bank or currency exchange.
Oh, and even tokyo were surprisingly cheap, everyone told my japan will be expensive, but for "regular living" i paid nearly as much as here in germany (for you it should be the same, i was in uk in feb and the prices were mostly the same).
the one thing that really bothered me were the 1Yen and 5Yen coins, because you can't use them in vending machines and most of the time you don't want to count each Yen in the store.
Used ICE to get ยฃ150~ in Yen before I went, exchange rate was decent. used my Halifax Clarity Credit card to withdraw Cash (at least 15k yen each time), minimal bank fees at 7-elevens which vary between ยฃ2-5, you get the actual bank rate by doing this. Don't get most of your yen from the UK as you will get ripped off.
I still have tons of 1 & 5 yen coins from last my last trip. I'm going to put them in a shrine donation box next time I visit.
10 yen coins are good for vending machines.
Very useful video Amy, I'm gonna check my credit card doesn't have excessive charges abroad.
Hey Amy Iโm currently in taiwan. Japanese food is very widespread and popular here. Hopefully Iโll see you at hyper japan !
I'm going to Tokyo for the first time in September and all I can say is rip my money for when I go haha
