Historical Rate changes of the Japanese Yen against the Dollar

In the last 3 months, the value of the Japanese Yen against the Dollar has fallen by -3.50%.

With regard to recent valuations 3 months ago, the Japanese Yen equaled 0.01 Dollars and is now worth 0.01 Dollars. The decline in the Japanese Yen's value does not favor consumers or travelers visiting United States at the moment. You will receive less Dollars for each Japanese Yen you exchange, thereby reducing your buying power while visiting. The trend history chart illustrates these recent changes.

Travel Tip

Before vacationing, we recommended you exchange Japanese Yen to Dollars, or other currencies, at your local bank or credit union, as you will, in general, get much better exchange rates than you would at airport kiosks, where rate hikes are common and expected. Although conveniently located at your port of entry, currency exchange kiosks will also charge convenience fees per transaction. Another option to save money while vacationing is to pay any charges you incur with a "no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-card".
