Allowed money to carry

hi guys its me again this is my 2nd thread. apparantly me and several of my family members will be going to japan for 3 weeks

carrying money is one of my issue's

because when we went to Macau. we were delayed for several hours for the reason that we carry more then enough should we have.

my question is

How much money is the allowed for people to carry and not to alarm the japanese customs/ security.(hand carry cash)

I've entered Japan 19 times and I have never been asked how much money I carry. It's not an issue.

1000000yen or equivalent

Dick H, it can be an issue. I've been to Japan twice. The second time I entered through Naha and was specifically asked to write down how much money I was carrying on me.

You can hand carry as much as you want; however, if it is more than 1,000,000 yen (or the equivalent) per household you will have to declare it to customs upon entry. You do not have to declare it if you are carrying less than 1,000,000 yen.

1000000 YPY= 12800 US dollars

1000000 YPY= 10000 €

Some of us prefer to get cash from ATM and use credit cards for bigger expenses, like hotels. I would worry too much if I carried lots of cash....but then I never spend much anyway...
