How to use the Foreign Currency Exchange Machine in Japan

Using a foreign currency exchange machine in Japan is a simple and convenient way to convert your home currency into Japanese yen. To make the process smoother, follow these steps:

1. Locate a foreign currency exchange machine: You can find these machines at major airports, train stations, some banks, and tourist areas in Japan. Look for signs that indicate currency exchange services.

2. Approach the foreign currency exchange machine.

3. Select your desired language: Most currency exchange machines in Japan offer language options, including English. Choose the language you are most comfortable with.

4. Choose the currency you wish to exchange: Select your home currency from the available options displayed on the screen. Be aware that not all machines accept all currencies, so ensure your currency is accepted beforehand.

5. Enter the amount to exchange. Some machines also specify the minimum and maximum amounts for exchange.

6. Insert your cash into the designated slot of the machine. Ensure that you are using the correct currency denomination.

7. Confirm the transaction: Double-check the information you have entered, including the chosen currencies and amounts. If everything is accurate, press the confirmation button to proceed.

8. Receive the exchange rate and confirm: The machine will display the current exchange rate and the amount of Japanese yen you will receive in return for your home currency. If you agree with the displayed rate, confirm the transaction.

9. Collect your Japanese yen: After the machine counts and verifies the cash, it will dispense Japanese yen in the specified amount. Collect your yen from the machine's tray.

10. Take your receipt: The machine will print a receipt as proof of your transaction. Keep it for record-keeping purposes or any future needs.

Note that some foreign currency exchange machines may have slight variations in their operation. It's always beneficial to read any instructions or information provided on the machine's display to ensure a successful transaction.

At 0:31 note that you get a slightly better rate the more you convert. I wonder how these machines differ from the Live Currency Rate? Didn't see anything about fees!

Was the rate even good? Researching the yen back in early October 2023, $50 would have been 7200-7400 Yen in a per effect scenario.
