[RediscoverTravel]

Start saving your money in your local currency and when the time comes to visit Japan buy yen. I use the exchange banks at the airport in Japan but you might be able to get better rates in other places. Never use your hotel as they take their cut. Post offices in Japan generally have international ATMs but check with your bank before you leave to let them know you will be in Japan also to find out what the service charges are. The exchange rate changes a lot and no one really knows where it is heading. There is also the rick that your life may change and you will not be able to go.
