Change your money after you get there at a post office or bank. Idk where you are but the fees were lower than converting currency at my bank in the US

I'm from chase

It's a 5 dollar fee and 3% exchange rate. Which is hella not worth.

 

 

I usually order a little bit Yens from my bank before i enter to Japan. And then i just use atms. Everyone always say they suck because all the costs but my withdraw costs have always been one or two euros o_O

What was your exchange rate in Europe?

according to a japan travelling related website:

In Japan, currency exchange is usually handled by [/size]banks, [/size]post offices, some larger [/size]hotels and a handful of licensed money changers found especially at [/size]international airports.[/size]
Whether or not it is better to change for yen before coming into Japan depends on the currency that you hold. For example, the US dollar is a highly traded foreign currency in Japan, and partly for this reason you might get a favorable rate if you change US dollars into yen in Japan. On the other hand, in some Southeast Asian countries, the foreign exchange market is very competitive and money changers take a smaller cut, therefore it might be better to do the exchange there before coming into Japan.

 
According to the comments under this video you should use the machines @ the airports because the fee is lower, there is also a guide on the video.
