Lubeboy · 04-08-2008, 03:34 PM

So I'm traveling to Japan in about a week. I have been doing my research and what not but have read conflicting reports on where the best place to exchange the weak dollar for Yen. Some people said I should exchange it when I arrive at Narita airport while others said that I'll be ripped off there. Some people said I should go through my bank but I read BOA has terrible exchange rate for foreign money. A friend of mine recommended that I go to an Amex Travel office and get my money exchanged there. Can anyone here offer any more advice on the best place for me to go get my money exchanged?
