Currency Exchange Near Akihabara Station: Where to Go

Akihabara is a hub for sightseeing and shopping, and many visitors need to change foreign cash into Japanese yen here. This guide explains where to exchange near Akihabara Station and how to choose without overpaying.

Where you can exchange in Akihabara

• Currency exchange specialists — wide range of currencies and longer hours. In-town competition keeps rates relatively sharp.
• Banks — trusted, but shorter hours and a limited set of currencies.
• ATMs / convenience stores — handy for card withdrawals, but extra fees may apply.

How to choose well

Even shops advertising "no commission" can be expensive if the rate itself is poor. Compare the same currency across shops and judge by the amount you actually receive. Also check hours, supported currencies and English support.
