Japan is slowly coming to accept credit cards, but it is still largely a cash society, and that cash is yen. \u00a0If you need to exchange yen into a foreign currency or vice versa there are a number of options for you to employ. \u00a0You can buy yen at some\u00a0banks, major post offices, international airports, and in some limited cases money exchange is available in hotels and department stores.<\/p>\n
Buying yen with major currencies is pretty straightforward, but buying foreign currencies with\u00a0yen is a little more complex. \u00a0Most of these options simply do not keep a large amount of foreign reserves on hand. \u00a0In practice, this means you can get your currency exchanged at many places, but most will ask you to come back in a week to pick up your money. \u00a0If you can wait, or require a fairly small amount of cash exchanged, there is a fairly exhaustive list of providers\u00a0that may be of assistance through the link below.<\/p>\n

If you are in a rush, or have a large amount of cash to exchange your options are very limited. \u00a0The best place to go to in Nagoya to foreign currencies is an\u00a0MUFJ branch with a\u00a0a dedicated foreign exchange desk.<\/p>\n
Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Nagoya Chuo Shiten<\/strong><\/p>\n Hirokojidori is the main street through Sakae and Fushimi. \u00a0Going from Sakae towards Fushimi this branch is on the right side of the road. This branch is the main foreign exchange branch for UFJ in Nagoya. \u00a0It is most likely to have cash, and larger amounts of foreign cash on hand than any other branch.<\/p>\n Google Map\u00a0http:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/Q2aPg<\/a><\/p>\n Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Sakaemachi Branch<\/strong><\/p>\n The Sakaemachi branch is located on B1 of a building near Skyle and Melsa. \u00a0It has a dedicated foreign exchange desk, but if you need large amounts of cash the\u00a0Nagoya Chuo Shiten above is a better bet.<\/p>\n Google Map\u00a0https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/gDxRH<\/a><\/p>\n These private companies also exchange foreign currencies. \u00a0If you need your cash on a weekend, these may be your only option besides the airport. \u00a0These will cost you more money than other options.<\/p>\n Ticket Station Sakae<\/strong><\/p>\n Goggle Map\u00a0http:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/KRK9x<\/a><\/p>\nExchange Currency Over the Weekend<\/strong><\/h3>\n
