Travel to Japan among Canadians has surged over 140% in recent years, driven almost entirely by favorable foreign exchange conditions. The Loonie's purchasing power in Japan is near historic highs compared to the past 30 years.
Historically, 1 CAD hovered between 75 and 85 JPY. At today's ~110 JPY level, dining, luxury shopping, and rail travel in Tokyo and Kyoto feel 30% to 40% cheaper for Canadian tourists.
Despite advances in digital transit IC cards, thousands of authentic ramen shops, temple entrance fees, traditional ryokans, vending machines, and rural shops in Japan only accept physical yen banknotes. Carrying authentic cash from Currency Mart is indispensable.
No, Japan is currently one of the most affordable international destinations for Canadians. Because the Canadian Dollar trades near 110 Yen (compared to the historical 80 Yen average), Canadian tourists enjoy unprecedented purchasing power on dining, hotels, and retail shopping.
Japan remains heavily cash-reliant, particularly for local food stalls, subway ticket machines, IC card recharging, and temple admissions. We recommend exchanging at least 50,000 to 100,000 JPY per person in physical cash at Currency Mart before departing Canada.
