Travel Experience to Japan made possible on a tight financial resources (budget)

  1. Foreign Currencies exchange to Japanese Yen done in Home Country

Going to Japan, ensure prepare surplus of Japanese Yen instead of using the money exchange foreign exchange rate. For me, i perform my foreign exchange in my home country in Singapore, and did keep a look out on comparing the foreign exchange rates either at Japanese local neighbourhood such as Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo the exchange rate is more favourable or more attractive to the consumer when done in home country.

Otherwise, if this has not been the case in your home country when converting to Japanese Yen, do drop a comment in sharing your insights with comprehensive details.
