I hear that there are not enough Japanese yen in Hawaii,
If you have already exchanged money in Hawaii, where did you do it ?

Also, have you exchanged money in Japan ?


Thank you very much. Also, is there anyone who can exchange money in Japan?

It seems certain that Japanese yen is scarce in Hawaii. I usually used a currency exchange in Waikiki, but was told that the waiting list is now filled with about several hundred people until August.
This is the first time I changed my money at the bank where I have an account, but there was a $10 fee and it took several days to receive my Japanese yen. The exchange rate was 129 yen to the dollar at the end of last week, so I decided it was okay.
I have exchanged money at a Japanese bank, but many of the bills were rejected when they were read, and it was a hassle to prepare new bills, so I had them exchanged here.

I heard this at the Cpb Ward branch on 6/3.
He said there are many locos exchanging money.
I heard there are two rates, 126.61 + $10 commission
or
if you have more than $10000 in your account,
127.26 without commission
I heard that day.
I felt ? that the rate was not so bad.
For your information.

It seems to be a good deal to exchange money in Japan.

Check on the web as Mr. Yen is weak and dollar is strong, today's rate 130.23
Commission fee is included in the rate. $ 1000 → 130230 yen It is a good deal!

I arrived at Haneda Airport today and cashed in at Mizuho Bank in the arrival lobby. Today's exchange rate was 136 yen to the dollar, but the exchange rate was 132 yen to the dollar. I think it is not bad.

I use Wise all the time. The commissions are low and the rates are almost always the same as the market. You can check the commission rates from the site without creating an account. If you have a Japanese bank account, it is worth a try.

Dear Koji
I have no experience sending money to Japan yet. I am planning to send money soon, so I would be very happy if you could give me some more information. When I create an account ( and send money ), do I need my SSN ? and can I use a family member's name on the Japanese bank account ??

I don't remember if I used my SSN or not when I opened my Wise account a long time ago, but
according to the following, it's a photo ID.
If you ask me, I remember using my passport or Hawaiian driver's license.

I have never wired money to a family member's account myself, but
according to the following and others According to the following and others, it seems to be possible.
Basically, if you know the bank name, account number, and name of the recipient, you can do it.
