USD to JPY Converter (US Dollar to Japanese Yen)
1 USD = 158.023 JPY at the saved rate of 2026-11-10. Change US dollars into Japanese yen for travel, shopping or rent, with ready-made tables.
The Japanese yen (JPY, symbol ¥, written 円 in Japan) has no fractional unit in daily use: the sen and rin that once divided it were taken out of circulation in 1953. Banknotes are issued by the Bank of Japan, while coins are issued by the national government and struck by the Japan Mint.
Americans planning a trip to Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto convert dollars to yen to set a daily budget, and so do students heading to a Japanese university, employees relocating to an office in Japan, and anyone comparing a hotel, rail pass or apartment priced in yen with what it would cost at home.
How to use this tool
- Type an amount in USD to see it in JPY, or type in the JPY box to convert the other way.
- Read the rate line under the boxes: it shows the saved rate and its date.
- Use the tables below for common amounts, or open the currency converter for any other currency.
Formula
JPY amount = USD amount × rate
USD amount = JPY amount ÷ rate
The rate is the value of 1 USD in JPY in the snapshot of 2026-11-10, read from a table of exchange rates against the US dollar. A bank's buying and selling rates sit on either side of this mid-market figure.
Example
Two conversions at the saved rate:
150 USD × 158.023 = 23,704 JPY
10,000 JPY ÷ 158.023 = 63.28 USD

Notes and coins you will handle
Bank of Japan notes come in 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 yen, though the 2,000 yen note is rarely seen. A redesigned series of 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 yen notes was first issued on July 3, 2024, and the Ministry of Finance has confirmed that the earlier designs stay valid. Coins run 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 yen.
Cash is still common at small restaurants, shrines, ticket machines and rural shops, so a coin purse is useful even if you pay by card in cities.
Declaring cash at Japanese customs
Anyone entering or leaving Japan with cash, checks or securities worth more than 1 million yen must file a declaration of means of payment with Japan Customs. Foreign currency counts toward the limit at its yen equivalent, and the form is available in the customs areas of airports and seaports.
Quick mental estimate
Multiply USD by 160 for a rough JPY figure: 20 USD → about 3,200 JPY. That factor is 1.3% above the saved rate.
Rates move every day, so recheck the rate line before you rely on a shortcut.
Frequently asked questions
Do prices in Japan include consumption tax?
Since April 2021, businesses selling to consumers in Japan must display the total price including consumption tax, so the number on a shelf or menu is generally what you pay. Some shops show the pre-tax price next to it in smaller print.
Where can I withdraw yen with a US bank card?
ATMs in many convenience stores and post offices in Japan accept cards issued abroad. Your bank may charge a foreign ATM fee and convert at its own rate, so check its fee schedule before you travel.
How is the dollar-yen rate written?
As yen per one US dollar, the same direction as this page. The Federal Reserve's H.10 release lists the yen this way, while it shows a few currencies, such as the euro and the pound, as dollars per unit.
Is this the live exchange rate?
No. The page uses a snapshot of mid-market rates saved when the site was last updated, and the rate line shows its date. Your bank, card issuer or transfer service quotes its own rate, usually with a margin or fee, so the amount you actually receive will differ.
