Currency Converter


 

Although it may be daunting figureing out money in Japan isn't as complicated as you may think. Even though the ¥ to $ rate changes daily, this does not mean prices change. An easy equation for conversion is applied by simply inserting a mental decimal i.e. a cup of coffee is ¥396, this is almost equivilant to $3.96. The conversion rate applies when you are exchanging dollars for yen or yen for dollars.

Use the converter below to convert any amount to or from any denomination. Simply enter the amount you want to convert, and choose the currencies. The form will automatically update. The conversion rates are updated several times a day by theFinancials.com.

For your convenience, the conversion from $1 (US Dollar) to Japanese Yen is preselected, so you can see the current dollar to yen rate at a glance.
