    Exchanging US Dollars to Japanese Yen in Honolulu, Hawaii... Yesterday, I called Pacific Money Exchange because my friend wanted to exchange a large amount of cash and get yen at a good rate. I was told to stop by after 11am. We parked nearby and walked to Royal Hawaiian Avenue, where Pacific Money Exchange is on the ground floor of a multi-level building. The two ladies working at the window were friendly and had the correct amount of yen ready - under my name and phone number. My friend showed her ID, gave them her Social Security Number, and was satisfied with the transaction. On 11-28-23, the rate was 143¥ for a dollar. I'll check the rate later on, compare with my bank, and will probably return!

    Money does buy happiness... It's incredible to hear and see how many have made trips to Japan these past few months...could it be due to the insane rates happening now, possibly though it's one of my dream destination planned or not when it's a great rate I do purchase some whenever possible...and it's the best place to do so. Located on Royal Hawaiian Avenue right across DFS and yes parking is the real struggle but I did find a loading zone spot I quickly parked and dashed to the window and as of 10.30.23 it was 143 for $1 and NO fees! It's usually difficult to acquire yen as not many is brought in by visitors it's the best to call for availability so that you don't make that unnecessary trip to Waikiki. Ladies here are super nice if you're not in the know and will explain it all for you to familiar yourself with yen but the best price on the island and definitely worth the trip for your trip. Thank you!

    Yen in wallet & ready for Japan!

    See all

    Ask the Community - Pacific Money Exchange

    Do they have japanese yen today?

    You have to call them and schedule an appointment.

    $4000? Do I bring cash or check? Can I come at 1:00?

    Cash Only. You have to call to setup an appointment.

    What is your yen rate today please?

    They never did quote rates over the phone because they have very good competitive rates amongst other places in the area.

    Is there a maximum that I can exchange?

    If you are exchanging over $500, I suggest you go in person and reserve. Last time we went there (April 2024) there was a wait list that was already closed for the month.

    So they do Korean won or only Japanese yen?

    Yen only.

    Does Pacific Money exchange USD for Chinese Yuan? Is there a minimum amount they will exchange? I only need about $50 for Beijing airport vending machines.

    No, they do only Japanese yen

    Can I get Mexican pesos?

    No, they only have U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen.

    I would like to sell JPY for USD. What is your exchange rate?

    They won't give any quotes over the phone, so need to go there in person to find out.

    What is the difference between the kamaaina rate and reservation preferred rate? If you get an extra 2 yen per dollar for kamaaina, does the reservation rate (over $1000) give you 3+ yen per dollar?

    I'm not sure about the original rate but when I asked about the kamaaina rate and showed them my state ID, the rate was still 4% lower than online.

    I have Chinese Yuan. What is the rate of exchange to dollars?

    Because exchange rate change constantly, it's best to call the business and ask what is their exchange rate for Yuan.

    Does pacific money exchange dollars to Mexican pesos?

    No, only Japanese yen

    Do they exchange for euros?

    No, only Japanese yen
