The currency in Japan is the Yen

According to usaers, the currency used in Japan is called the Yen. It is the domestic currency, which means that you who go to Japan should always switch to this currency.

Now it is also the case that the Japanese like American dollars. Make sure you know the value against their own currency, as otherwise you may have to pay a much higher price than you would have done in Yen. When you go to Japan, however, it is good to have both Yen and USD in your travel fund, as you can benefit from one or the other in different situations.
