How much would it cost to change USD to Yen?

What is the best place to change USD to Yen? Can I just put Yen on a credit card? I know you can exchange currency at the airport, but does a rate apply? If so, is it a high rate?|||It's far better to buy yen after you arrive in Japan. The airport will in Japan will have a bank you can use,


but you'd do better to go to a larger Japanese post office. Actually it would be best to use your ATM at a Japanese Post Office to get yen - their machines can do it in English and the rates are good. There is often a nominal fee for the transaction; your bank can tell you how much.


It is *not* a good idea to get cash with your credit card - they have loan shark interest rates. If you are arriving in Japan on a weekend or holiday, you might bring a little yen with you before you board your flight just in case.|||Any of the larger stores take credit cards, as do many restaurants, (though not the smaller ones).





Exchange rates are 'built-in' so to speak. Visitors coming to see me usually exchange a good bit at the kiosk in the airport and then go to a large branch of any bank to cash more.|||Here are your options with the best and worst rates given:|||Definitely DO NOT exchange at the airport, since they rates are VERY high. I suggest you go through a bank, such as Wells Fargo or Bank of America. If you don't have those banks, then try searching for an online company that does currency exchange.



The best thing for you to do is, exchange a little bit here in the USA, then when you are there, just take out money from an ATM. Doing that is better because you avoid the high rates that banks also make you pay. At an ATM in Japan (big post offices and 7-Eleven's), you only need to pay a small percentage fee for your Debit Card, with better rates.



Japan uses mostly cash, so a credit card wouldn't be very convenient there, only in big department stores. Take a Debit Card.|||CURRENT GOING AT ~~~
