Travel Card

Don’t forget to buy Japanese yen (JPY) before your departure to Japan

A trip to Japan means visiting a country offering a mix between, megapolis, nature, snowy peaks and small peaceful villages. Japan is also known for its technological advances. This country will offer you a great trip. It is important to be well informed about the currency of the country you are travelling to so that you are well prepared. The local currency in Japan is the Japanese yen (JPY). For some of your purchases and activities, it will be useful to have some cash. Although the use of credit cards is widespread, transactions are mostly done in cash in Japan. Therefore, we invite you to draw up a travel budget before your departure in order to plan your expenses and the amount of NZD to exchange to JPY.
