What I remember when I went to Tokyo from Guam and I got only US$ with me, I went to the biggest bank branch in Shibuya, most of the staff in the bank don't speak English, they requested me to fill in a form and showed them my passport, plus the exchange rate was very bad. It took me more than 40 mins, and I speak flurent Japanese. So, if you couldn't speak the language, it would be a lot troublesome. My advice is .. bring along at least 2 credit cards and enough japanese yen (at least 80,000 Yen for a 7 days trip) with you. I wish you good luck and have a nice trip.

Where are you from? I think you are US citizen. You bring US doller in cash to airport. and most bank in Japan accept US doller. If you are staying a while and bring some big money, eg.$3,000, the exchange rate of T/C, travellers check", is cheaper than cash. 7% plus a Delivery fee? Where are you from?

Banks are usually open Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm. ☆Travelers checks offer the best exchange rate. There is always a small fee for exchanging your dollar to yen, but NOT as high as 7%. (WOW!) International airports usually always have FOREIGN EXCHANGE counters/areas. You can exchange for cash or travelers checks, but CASH (yen) is best to use while in Japan. Major credit cards are accepted in the larger hotels and stores, but most Japanese operate with cash. (I have been to some Ryokan, restaurants and shops that were "cash only".) If you will be at the "New Chitose Airport", check this site: Click "Q&A"- Hope this helps! Have a great time.♡ ♡Cash and travelers checks can be exchanged in banks, post offices and currency exchange bureau.
