I will be returning to Japan soon.
So I am thinking of converting my money from dollars to yen during my stay in Japan.
Can you recommend a good place to convert dollars to yen ？
or does it make much difference where I convert ？

My family will be there for about 2 months and I would like to convert about 10,000 dollars to yen.

please ！

Redemption at the exchange is bad for commissions, rates, etc.
I use the following sites.

Wise
https://wise.com/jp/send-money/

Low fees and good rates.
I have been using a cash exchange since I found out about this site and I feel ridiculous.

The money changers in Waikiki are open, but since there are few tourists from Japan, they will not exchange high amounts of money to $ → ¥.
I tried to exchange $ 1000 in April, but was told there were no Japanese yen.

I had to withdraw my Hawaii bank account deposit from the Japanese post office.
There is a limit of 50,000 yen per transaction and a handling fee of 300 yen, but the rate is better than exchanging money at a bank.

Some Japanese money stores will also exchange money, so it may be a good idea to change it after returning to Japan. I myself use this method to exchange Japanese yen → dollars.

Taro, Landlord, Lime

Thank you for your prompt posts.
All the advice was very helpful.

I looked up Wise which Taro-san told me about on the net and it looked very good, so I think I will try Wise this time.
My husband always used a bank for overseas remittance, so I will tell him about it.
It makes a big difference if it is a large amount of money ！

Thank you all very much for your help.

It is definitely better than a bank, with lower fees ^_^

Have fun in Japan ^_^!

I am a little worried about Tokyo because of the number of infected people, Delta stock, and the influence of the Olympics …
so
I am going to enjoy Japan for the first time in 2 years
while taking measures against coronas.
Thank you very much.
