Don’t forget to buy Japanese yen (JPY) before your departure to Japan

A trip to Japan means visiting a country offering a mix between, megapolis, nature, snowy peaks and small peaceful villages. Japan is also known for its technological advances. This country will offer you a great trip. It is important to be well informed about the currency of the country you are traveling to so that you are well prepared. The local currency in Japan is the Japanese yen (JPY). For some of your purchases and activities, it will be useful to have some cash. Although the use of credit cards is widespread, transactions are mostly done in cash in Japan. Therefore, we invite you to draw up a travel budget before your departure in order to plan your expenses and the amount of JPY to exchange.

Practical tips for planning your budget

It is important to know that giving a tip to a waiter directly in Japan is considered discourteous. However, giving a tip to the boss to give to his employee is appreciated.

You need to plan a daily budget for your trip which includes the hotel, the meals, the transportation fees, your activities and even some souvenirs purchases. The hotel will cost you around 1350 yens, the meal around 5400 yens, the bus/subway around 2000 yens and the price for the entrance to the museums around 2700 yens.

Some suggestions

  • Kyoto remains the cultural, artistic and intellectual capital of Japan, where you can visit the Golden Temple, Nijo Castle and the geisha district. You can also go to Nara, to discover sublime historical monuments.
  • Go to Kanazawa, where you can finally discover the beautiful traditional gardens you have surely heard so much about. You can take a handmade silk kimono with you as a nice souvenir. Be sure to visit Kenrokuen Park, which is considered one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan.
  • A rental car will allow you to travel further and admire the imposing landscapes of the country, the Japanese Alps, if you go in the direction of Gokayama for example.
  • For mountain sports enthusiasts we suggest the well-known ski resort of Hakuba.
  • A town with an old soul, having been spared the great Tokyo fire, is worth a visit when you are there.

Some facts about the Japanese Yen

Denominations of the Japanese Yen

Notes: 1000JPY, 2000JPY, 5000JPY and 10000JPY.
Coins: 1JPY, 5JPY, 10JPY, 50JPY, 100JPY and 500JPY

The word "yen" originated from the mispronunciation of 円, which is said "en" or "enne". There was a misinterpretation between the ancient Sino-Japanese script and its pronunciation.
