Well I didn't buy a few yen but did buy more stuff from Amazon JP with the favourable exchange rate! (Helped that Amazon JP was having a sale on stuff I wanted!)

Sadly not, it was all snacks of some description!

I was very tempted by this tea set on Disney JP though shopdisney.disney.co.jp/good...424552273.html - the mug is so pretty and it comes with Lupicia tea (a Japanese brand that does really good tea). Unfortunately I'm not yet at the point where I'm willing to risk shipping glass items through a re-shipper due to the risk of breakage in transit...

Yen dropped even lower after Bank of Japan decided to NOT increase interest rates, unlike most other Western Banks.

Just noticed that the £ is at a yearly high against the Yen currently, possibly time to buy some cash for people going soon?

Funny you should say this, my daughter has just ordered her ¥ today (& she hasn’t been checking the rates), maybe I should order some as well.

Of course I bought £1000 worth several weeks ago…

Oh well still a great rate and will make the most of using my starling card over there.

Oh thanks for that! I occasionally check the rate, but pretty poor at doing so. I think I'll try to buy some at the moment rhen
