About the Japanese yen

In Japan they say "en," but "yen" works too in English. The name means circle or round object, and the currency dates to 1871. Its currency code is JPY, and the symbol is ¥.

The yen has traditionally been viewed as a safe haven currency, although its behaviour can change as market conditions shift.

The NZD to JPY exchange rate can respond to interest rate decisions from the Bank of Japan and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.

Cash is still widely used in Japan, so carrying some yen can be useful alongside a travel card.

A one yen coin weighs just one gram and can sit on the surface of still water because of surface tension.

Weighing up travelling with cash vs cards helps you pack the right mix, and there's plenty to plan for among the top Japanese experiences.
