Money!!

The unit of Japanese currency is yen. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 yen and bank notes in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 yen. There is no limit on the amount of any currency that may be brought into or taken from Japan. If the money exceeds 1,000,000 yen in or out of the country you must complete a customs declaration. 


16270 (JPY) = $ 200.00 (USD)
40675 (JPY) = $ 500.00 (USD)


You can buy at foreign exchange banks, international airports and other authorized money exchangers.

International credit cards are accepted but it is recommended to obtain cash beforehand when traveling outside your country.
Visa, MasterCard, AE & Diners Club are all accepted.


The easiest and most economical way to send have money sent to me in Japan would be Postal Money Order. The quickest, most expensive but secure way would be a Wire Transfer.
