🇯🇵 Heading to Japan soon? Read below for essential tips! 👇

​While Japan is a futuristic country, it is still a heavily cash-based society. From street food stalls in Osaka to entry fees at Kyoto's temples, physical Japanese Yen (JPY) is an absolute must-have.

​Before you pack your bags, swing by Melbourne Currency Exchange to get sorted:

​✅ Zero Fees & Zero Commissions – No hidden surprises.

✅ Highly Competitive Rates – Keep more money in your pocket than at the airport.

✅ Locally Owned & Operated – Trusted service right here in Melbourne.

​💡 Quick Japan Travel Tips:

​💴 Cash is King: Many small izakayas, coin lockers, and vending machines only take cash. Keep plenty of 1,000¥ and 5,000¥ notes handy.

​🛍️ Shop Tax-Free (Save 10%): Carry your physical passport with you while shopping! Major stores and boutiques offer instant 10% tax-free discounts to tourists at the register.

​🪙 Bring a Coin Pouch: Japanese currency relies heavily on high-value coins (up to 500¥). A small coin purse will save your pockets!

​Don't wait until the airport to get stung by high fees. Lock in your rates today!

The countdown to the school holidays is officially on! Whether you’re planning a family getaway to the beaches of Fiji, a theme park adventure, or an overseas trip to visit family, there’s one major thing you don’t want to leave until the last minute: your travel cash.

High-demand currencies like US Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen, and British Pounds fly out of our registers faster than a plane taking off right before the school break.

To ensure you don’t get stuck paying high airport fees or card conversion rates abroad, we highly recommend locking in your currency before our stock runs out!

Thinking of heading to Japan? 🇯🇵 Before you get swept away by the neon lights of Shinjuku, there is one travel essential you can’t forget: Physical Cash.

While Japan is sprinting toward the future, its heart (and its best hidden gems) still beats in yen. Here’s why your travel card shouldn’t travel alone:

⛩️ The “Hidden Gem” Factor

That 200-year-old teahouse in Kyoto or the legendary ramen stall in an alleyway? Chances are, they are cash-only. Don’t miss out on the best meal of your life because of a “No Visa” sign.

🚌 Navigating Like a Pro

While major stations take IC cards (like Suica or Pasmo), many local buses and rural trains require coins or small bills. Plus, recharging those cards often requires—you guessed it—cash.

🏯 Shrines & Temples

Entrance fees for historic sites and those beautiful Omamori (lucky charms) almost always require physical yen.

🍦 The Vending Machine Obsession

You haven’t truly lived until you’ve bought a hot corn soup or a cold peach tea from a roadside machine. Most older models still live for those 100-yen coins!
