Frequently Asked Questions

Should I change the Japanese Yen here or is it better to go there, and do it?
We suggest you do it here before you leave for the trip. Exchanging currency there will simply give you very poor exchange rates. For more queries, you may get in touch with our experts.
I have heard that Japan is quite expensive. How much should be enough to exchange to survive through the trip?
This is completely dependent on the nature of your trip, and your personal preferences. If you are confused about the expenses that you might have to incur while you are on the trip, then please contact our team of experts and they will guide you with the proceedings.
Is there any specific limit to carry Japanese Yen if I am travelling to Japan?
You may carry up to Yen 10,00,000, or foreign currency equivalent, in and out of Japan. However, in case the amount you are carrying exceeds the given limit, then you must declare the same.
Is US dollar accepted in Japan?
Japan does not generally accept foreign currencies, you might have a hard time if you are not using their currency. The only place where the dollar could be accepted is the places outside major airports.
If I use a Forex card in Japan is that OK? Is it generally accepted?
Yes, you can certainly use your forex card as long as the Visa/Mastercard is accepted. While Japan’s payment system is more dependent on the local card makers, chances are that some vendors and teller machines might not accept the visa/mastercard cards or any other international cards, which have been issued outside of Japan.
