Quick Tips
Avoid currency exchange kiosks at airports
Although exchanging currency at an airport kiosk is quick and easy, it is also one of the most expensive ways to get your hands on some foreign currency. Airport kiosks typically offer high exchange rates due to low competition and the fact that they know travellers are in a hurry and might not have time to shop around for a better deal.
Use an exchange that does not charge commission or fees
Refusing to pay commissions and fees is a great way to save money when exchanging currency. You should always inquire about these extra fees before committing to a transaction to avoid being surprised by any unexpected charges.
High-Tech Japan Still Runs on Cash
Japan's high-tech reputation tricks people into leaving cash behind. But ramen counters, shrine offerings and festival stalls stay cash-only. The more local your trip, the more AU to yen you'll need. Check the JPY AUD rate before you fly.
Japanese Yen FAQ’s
What is the Japanese Yen?
The Japanese Yen (¥), with the currency code JPY, is Japan's official currency and one of the most traded currencies globally. Introduced in 1871, it's recognised for its stability and strength within the Asian market, making it a preferred currency for travellers heading to Japan and business transactions across Asia.
When is the best time to buy Japanese Yen with Australian Dollars?
The AUD to JPY exchange rate can be affected by a variety of factors, including economic policies in Japan, demand from seasonal tourism, and international trade shifts. For the best rates, it's wise to keep an eye on the market or visit your local Crown Currency Exchange. Our team can provide timely advice based on your travel plans and current trends.
How do I buy Japanese Yen (JPY) with AUD?
Head into your nearest Crown Currency Exchange store and we'll exchange your Australian dollars for Japanese Yen (JPY) on the spot, paying by cash or card. We always have cash on hand.
You can submit a quote online, give your local store a call, or simply walk in, whichever's easiest for you. Use the store locator to find your nearest branch.
What countries use the Japanese Yen?
The Japanese Yen is exclusively used within Japan.
How do I get the best currency rate?
To secure the best exchange rate, consider these tips:
Monitor Rates Regularly: Exchange rates fluctuate frequently, so keeping an eye on the rates can help you buy at the right moment. Our experts are always ready to help you with the latest rates.
Avoid Airport Exchanges: Airport currency exchanges often have higher fees and less favourable rates due to convenience fees.
Order in Advance: Your local team at Crown Currency Exchange will help you lock in great value rates well ahead of time. Just give them a call or head into store today.
Does the AUD JPY exchange rate actually matter for a short Japan trip?
More than most people assume! The rate has moved a long way over the past year, so even a week-long trip adds up across enough transactions to notice. If you're converting a decent chunk upfront, locking in your quote with Crown Currency Exchange before you fly protects the rate on the day, rather than leaving it to whatever the airport counter offers when you land.
How much AUD should I convert before I go?
Enough to cover the cash-only side of your trip (ramen shops, shrines, festival stalls, rural areas) plus a buffer for the occasional ATM that won't accept foreign cards. The HolidAi Budget Planner takes the guesswork out of the number. You can set your travel style and trip length, and it'll estimate what you actually need in cash versus card. Then, a simple, single visit to your nearest Crown Currency Exchange sorts the AUD to yen exchange, so you can go further in Japan.
