Over 1,000 Locations Nationwide! Easily Exchange Currency into Japanese Yen While Traveling.
SMART EXCHANGE is an automatic foreign currency exchange service that allows you to exchange foreign currency notes into Japanese yen. It is available at more than 1,000 locations across 40 prefectures in Japan, including airports, stations, commercial facilities, and sightseeing facilities. Its reliable operational framework, backed by a publicly listed corporate group, is another reason many visitors to Japan choose the service. The service supports 12 currencies, including US dollars, euros, Chinese yuan, Taiwan dollars, and South Korean won. Simply follow the on-screen instructions through three steps, and you can receive Japanese yen in as little as one minute.
Another advantage is that, rather than exchanging currency all at once at the airport, you can exchange only the amount you need whenever you need cash during your trip. There are still many situations where cash is needed when traveling in Japan, such as making offerings at shrines and temples, receiving goshuin (shrine and temple stamps), dining at cash-only restaurants and food stalls, or using coin lockers. In such situations, a nearby SMART EXCHANGE allows you to get Japanese yen without significantly changing your itinerary.
The official website also offers an online Special Rate Coupon. Checking it before your trip or before exchanging currency allows you to use the service at a better exchange rate.
