In Shinjuku, you can exchange foreign currency at megabanks such as Mitsubishi UFJ Bank and Mizuho Bank, as well as shops specializing in foreign currency exchange by banks and foreign currency exchange stores operated by travel agencies. However, the only foreign currency that can be exchanged at a bank is the US dollar. Only Japanese yen to US dollars. Please refer to the following detailed explanation.

Foreign currency exchange can be done at banks such as Mizuho Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, but it can be done during business hours when the counter is open. There is no correspondence on weekends and holidays.

You can exchange foreign currency on weekends and public holidays at a foreign currency exchange shop at a bank, a foreign currency exchange specialty store operated by a travel agency, a foreign currency exchange specialty store, etc.

Each bank and currency exchange shop will announce the rate for the day after 10:00 based on the 9:55 rate. For example, the rate for Mitsubishi UFJ will be decided at around 10:20, and at Mizuho Bank by 11:00, that day’s rate will be decided.

Prior to that time, the full-day rate will be applied, and on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, the currency exchange shop will apply the Friday afternoon rate until a new rate is announced on Monday.

Checking the exchange rate between Japanese yen and US dollars is based on the rate after 9:55, so it is good to check the exchange rate on the previous day after 10 o’clock.

The exchange rate is constantly changing. In places where foreign currency is exchanged, there is a “middle price” system because it is difficult to inquire about the rate each time a transaction is made.

“Intermediate price” is determined for each financial institution such as Mitsubishi UFJ Bank and Mizuho Bank and exchange specialist shop based on the transaction rate of the foreign exchange market (also called interbank market).

The transaction rate determined by the “middle price” will be applied until the rate for the first day and the rate for the next day are presented unless there is a significant exchange rate fluctuation. For example, if there is a change of 1 yen or more from the “mid value”, the “mid value” will be discontinued and the mid value may be determined again.

Banks and banks’ foreign currency exchange specialists will publish this “mid value” plus a fee as the exchange rate at that time. The fees vary depending on the bank, the bank’s currency exchange specialty store, the currency exchange specialty store, etc., so the exchange rate announced by the store is slightly different.

Generally, bank fees are said to be high, but there is a sense of security that the appraisal of camouflaged currency is well done and that the amount will not be cheated.

There are merits and demerits in places where you can exchange foreign currency, including Shinjuku, so we will introduce those parts together with places where you can exchange foreign currency in Shinjuku. Please refer to it at the time of foreign currency exchange.

Banks that can make foreign currency in Shinjuku can exchange foreign currency at Megabank Mizuho Bank, Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, etc. Sumitomo Mitsui Bank has succeeded in exchanging foreign currency with SMBC Trust Bank from April 1, 2018, so it does not exchange foreign currency within Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. In addition, some branches of the regional bank, the Bank of Yokohama, exchange Japanese yen to US dollars.

The rate of foreign currency offered by the bank will be announced by adding the fees determined by each bank, such as Mizuho Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, to the midpoint.

Fees vary depending on the bank’s method of purchasing foreign currency and also vary depending on the type of currency. By the way, there are different fees when you exchange from Japanese yen to foreign currency and from foreign currency to Japanese yen.

Also, Mizuho Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Bank can only exchange foreign currency from Japanese yen to US dollars. You cannot exchange Japanese yen from other currencies or US dollars.

The fee for converting from Japanese yen to US dollars at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank is 2.70 yen, and at Mizuho Bank it is 3 yen. The fee remains the same regardless of the change in the rate, and the rate published by adding this fee to the midpoint is applied to the exchange rate at that time.

In addition, when changing money within a bank, it is not a manned counter, but 100 dollars (00 dollar bills, 10 dollar bills, 0 dollars, 5 dollar bills, 1 dollar bills) , $ 300, $ 600, etc. The exchange amount is determined, and the dispenser selects from a pack that also determines the type and number of banknotes.

The amount of money and the type of banknotes determined for each pack vary depending on the bank. In this way, it is possible to exchange foreign currency into US dollars even within a bank, but it is inconvenient if you do not have the pack you want because the fee is charged and the amount and type of banknotes are determined.

Mizuho Bank can be used without regular transactions, but Mitsubishi UFJ Bank cannot use foreign currency exchange machines in the bank if you do not have an account.

You can also convert to US dollars at a bank, but there are regulations, and it may be inconvenient because it is not open on weekends. In such a case, we recommend a currency exchange shop dedicated to foreign currency.

“Mizuho Bank Foreign Currency Exchange Shop” is a Mizuho Bank foreign currency exchange shop. There are Shinjuku store and Shinjuku west exit store in Shinjuku. In addition to US dollars, you can exchange 21 different currencies such as Euro and British pound. However, foreign currency exchange can only be made with Japanese yen cash.

“SMBC Trust Bank Shinjuku Currency Exchange Corner” is a corner dedicated to currency exchange at SMBC Trust Bank in Shinjuku. From April 1, 2018, we also succeeded in the foreign currency exchange business at the foreign currency exchange corner of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

In Shinjuku, in addition to Megabank’s foreign currency exchange specialty shops, there are also stores where you can exchange foreign currency. When a commission is added to the midpoint set by each bank, there is a slight difference in the rate, and the difference is about 1 to 3 yen.

If you exchange large amounts of money, the difference will not be ridiculous. I don’t know what kind of route it is, but there are some shops that specialize in cheaper rates, such as currency exchange shops that buy foreign currency on their own route and advertise their own rates.

Bank-affiliated foreign currency exchange stores have a sense of security, but the following foreign currency exchange shops have special privileges and introduce shops with good exchange rates in Shinjuku. Please refer to those who want to hold the rate or exchange large amounts of money.

The exchange rate changes every moment. If the amount of money to be exchanged increases, the better the rate, the better.

As I have explained so far, in the case of banks, fees are relatively high compared to others, but there is no sense of falsification in the appraisal of monetary currency or the amount of money, so there is a sense of security.

Banks specializing in foreign currency exchange are cheaper than bank counters, but there is still a fee. However, it is also open on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and the closing time is later than the bank, which is convenient.

You can also relieve foreign currency exchange shops of travel agencies. There is no explicit fee, but the point is that the published rate including the fee is set higher.

Note that money exchange specialists that advertise their own rates do not incur fees, and rates are publicly cheaper than those of these ships, but there is no guarantee that counterfeit currency appraisals will be performed. I must.

Therefore, from a comprehensive point of view, I chose “Foreign Currency Exchange Dollar Ranger Shinjuku West Entrance” as the recommended place to exchange foreign currency in Shinjuku.

“Foreign currency exchange dollar ranger Shinjuku west exit store”, a currency exchange specialty store, is a major cash voucher shop that introduces appraisers without fees. There is little concern about counterfeit currency, and because it is an environment that publishes a unique rate that does not pass through middlemen, we exchange foreign currency at rates that are cheaper than banks, airports, and locals.

It has a proven track record of about 25 years since its establishment, and there are no problems despite the large number of users so far, and the fact that there are many corporate customers is also an indicator of trust.

If you use a lot on a trip, or if you change a large amount, the exchange cost will change drastically just by changing the exchange rate by 1 yen.

When exchanging foreign currency, it is a smart way to exchange money by comparing the exchange rates and choosing the most advantageous place, but the rate is already included in the rate, and this is unexpectedly a blind spot It is a blind spot that becomes expensive.

To reduce fees and costs, the voucher shop is certainly cheaper and can keep costs down. However, there is a disadvantage that there is a risk of fake currency.

For those who are accustomed to traveling, the popular “Cash Voucher Shop” has a low commission fee, so the cost can be suppressed, but there is a demerit that the amount of money that can be exchanged is limited, so if you want to exchange large amounts of money It takes time and effort to go around.

Foreign currency exchange is determined by the median price and commission, which varies depending on the bank, etc., and the exchange rate changes from moment to moment, so the amount of dollars you can receive depends on the timing of the exchange.

The advantages of foreign currency exchange at domestic banks are that there are many branches and it is easy to exchange, and that there is a branch in the departure lobby of the airport, so it is convenient. Also, the bank’s foreign currency exchange specialists appraise counterfeit currency like banks, so you can exchange money with confidence.

People who are familiar with currency are said to be more profitable by using the FX method to “buy and sell currency”, but to reduce the cost of currency exchange using FX requires a little study.

To reduce fees and reduce costs, using a cash voucher shop or a currency exchange shop that announces your own rate is the fastest way to reduce costs, but consider the disadvantages. There are various methods, but please refer to the contents introduced and use the method that suits your purpose and needs.

The exchange rate changes every moment. Since the exchange rate is announced by adding a commission to the middle price, each bank and foreign currency exchange specialty store has a slightly different rate. There are advantages and disadvantages to foreign currency exchange. This time, I have introduced the location of currency exchange in Shinjuku. Please refer to it when you exchange money in Shinjuku.
