Best place to exchange currency

Monkey see, there are very few Bureau de Change in the USA, I don't believe there are any independent operators. Even in NYC there are only four Travelex outlets. And, because there is little competition,there is always a commision charge.

Well, I have exchanged the yens to euro at Daikokuya at the Tokyo Station as you advised, and at the airport I found currency exchange rates visibly better than in in the city (1 euro was almost 129Y in Daikokuya and 125 at the airport).

Hey,

I found this post online that probably provides the most comprehensive answer:

Go to the nearest military base in the have outstanding currencies rate converter. They post what the rate exchange are, and in Japan, the currencies exchange is posted throughout the city. I was station in Yokosuka, Japan. The Navy Base currencies exchanges their is supurb.

Singapore airport. Seriously. it was 10 yen better per dollar than anywhere in japan.

How do you suppose non-military people gain access to a military base?

went today and the rate was 71 for selling aud/yen (when todays rate in market is 80), and for buying aud/yen it was 90 so quite a large spread of 20 yen profit for them. My recommendation is use the ATM and get your bank's rate, even with a $5 fee it is worth the difference (for amounts of $500), and it is less hassle. I am travelling around Asia all the time, Japan must be the worst for using cash currency exchange.
