Countries that use the Japanese Yen
Paying in JPY without losing on the way
The rate above is the reference rate. Every conversion takes a spread: exchanging cash at an airport desk is the worst, a foreign ATM adds a fixed withdrawal fee, and an ordinary credit card adds a "foreign transaction fee".
The cheapest way today: a multi-currency card (Wise, Revolut and similar) that converts at the real rate for a tiny fee, or a no-FX-fee credit card. Withdraw cash once in a large amount rather than many small withdrawals, and always choose "charge in local currency" at the ATM — never in your home currency.
