Japan uses the Japanese yen, written as JPY. The yen has been the official currency since 1871. Banknotes feature historical figures and landmarks, while coins are widely used for smaller purchases. Cash is still very common, although cards and digital payments are becoming more popular, especially in cities like Tokyo and Osaka. The yen is one of the world’s most traded currencies and is considered very stable. ATMs are available throughout the country, often accepting international cards. The yen represents Japan’s strong economy and technological advancement.
