Exchange Bureau in Japan

Dear friends of Japan Guide,

would an Exchange Bureau / Facility, where I will exchange Euros to Japanese Yen give me a receipt like its common in Europe!?

For example in my homeland, Kazakhstan, not every Money Exchange Bureau gives a receipt or bill, that I exchanged for example 100 Euros. I would need it due to my job as a classical musician.

Thank you very much,

Have a nice day,

At official exchange facilities, such as banks and currency exchanges, you will always receive a receipt.

Yes, they give receipts, but there will always be human errors. It's absolutely normal to make sure you ask for a receipt for anything you pay. Just say "receipt please" if they don't give you one (which often happens at bars).

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for your answers!!! It helped me a lot!! Kind regards and all best wishes from Europe,

Use a real bank, or even an exchange ATM (located at some airports) and they give better rates than the exchange kiosks. You should get a receipt no problem. Certainly the last few times I ended up with foreign currency USD, AUD and GBP the ATM I used at Narita gave a slightly better rate than the bank and printed a nice detailed transaction record.
