How to Exchange Foreign Currency for Japanese Yen in Japan

GPA Foreign Currency Exchange Stores

GPA is a foreign currency exchange service operated by Greenport Agency Co., Ltd., a company within the Narita Airport Group.

GPA operates eight currency exchange stores at Narita International Airport and handles 34 currencies.

▶ Purpose of the Currency Exchange

According to the information we received directly from GPA, foreign currency brought in as personal funds may be exchanged into Japanese yen.

However, money related to a business transaction — for example, payment for machinery — may not be treated in the same way as personal funds.

▶ Currency Exchange over JPY 1 Million — Maximum JPY 5 Million

For exchanges exceeding JPY 1 million, GPA requires identification and information such as the customer's occupation and purpose of the transaction.

Depending on the verification, GPA may decline the exchange.

The maximum amount per person, per store, per day is JPY 5 million. This means that, subject to GPA's verification and approval, another exchange of up to JPY 5 million may be possible on the following day.

Chiba Bank at Narita Airport

We also contacted Chiba Bank's Narita Airport Branch Office.

They informed us that foreign currency may be exchanged into Japanese yen up to JPY 1 million.

However, the exchange must be for personal purposes. Chiba Bank officially states that foreign currency exchange for business purposes is generally not accepted, regardless of the amount.

In addition, the bank may check whether the amount is reasonable for the purpose of the stay by reviewing documents such as the travel itinerary, flight information, and accommodation details.

Handmade Cheesecake

Image
Yesterday, I visited my father's house. He is living with my brother. Since my father is getting older, my brother usually cooks for both of them. When he tries a new recipe, he often watches videos by popular Japanese YouTubers. This is the handmade cheesecake he made using one of those YouTube recipes. When you buy cheesecake in Japan, most of them are relatively soft. However, the one my brother made was dense, rich, and absolutely delicious. An American friend of mine once told me that she had the most delicious cake in the world in Japan. I’m not sure whether Japan is the best place in the world to eat cake or not, but you can easily find very good cakes in Japan — even at local supermarkets.

Going to Tokyo

Image
Yesterday, I went to Tokyo for a business meeting and to attend a seminar by Dr. Ken Mogi, a neuroscientist, in Shinjuku. Tokyo is so crowded—it felt like a completely different world, even though it’s only about 80 km from where I live. During the seminar, there were several things I wanted to ask Dr. Mogi, especially about AI, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. This was actually the fifth time I attended his seminar. For some reason, every time I go, I’m left with a sense that something is unfinished. So yesterday, after the seminar, I asked him one question about AI. He seemed uninterested and looked like he wanted to leave soon. But that’s okay. He is a world-renowned neuroscientist and a bestselling author—why would he be interested in my question?   English edited by ChatGPT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Japan Trading ・ Exporting quality Japanese used industrial machinery worldwi...

A Chilly Day in Spring in Japan

Image
Today, it's a bit chilly for spring. On days like this, you might hear conversations like this in Japan: "It's a bit cold for spring today, but that's good—it means the cherry blossoms will last longer." People from other countries often wonder why Japanese people become so happy about something as simple as cherry blossoms blooming. Because we grow up in this environment, we may take it for granted. But when we really look at the cherry blossoms, we realize something deeper. They remind us how fleeting life is. They make us feel the transience and preciousness of life—and the value of each day we live.
