I am travelling to Japan from Spain and wondered if anyone new how easy it was to exchange euros to yen. The spanish banks have told me I will bet a better exchange rate if I wait until I get to Japan. I fly to the UK first so dont know if it is easier to exchange to GBP and then yen. Does anyone have any advice please.

Phil, do not make multiple exchanges. You will most likely be charged a percentage each time. You should be able to check the exchange rates on the net for all the banks both locally and in the UK. I always do my exchange in Australia before I travel but from reading this site the Americans seem to do better in Japan. I honestly have no idea where it would be best to exchange Euros. Try to find an exchange company that does not charge commissions. We certainly have them here in Australia at very competitive rates...not much help to you but they do exist.

Changing money more than once you will lose out on any commission charged more than once as well.
The euro is a fully convertible currency and Japan is a developed country, so there is no reason for you to think you will have any trouble.
