Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current EUR to JPY exchange rate?
The Euro to Japanese Yen rate typically ranges between ¥155-165 per €1. ECB and BOJ monetary policies heavily influence this pair. BOJ's ultra-low rates (including negative rates until 2024) weakened yen significantly while ECB raised rates, creating divergence. European tourists love Japan—Paris to Tokyo popular route, and weak yen makes Japanese luxury goods, electronics, experiences affordable for Europeans.
Why do Europeans invest in Japan?
Diversification into Asian markets, Japanese technology stocks (Toyota, Sony, Nintendo), government bonds (considered safe haven), and real estate in Tokyo/Osaka. Weak yen environment (2022-2024) makes Japanese assets cheaper for Europeans. Also, European luxury brands (Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Chanel) generate massive revenues from Japanese consumers—require yen management for operations. Japan's stable democracy, rule of law attract European institutional investors.
What's the best way to send Euros to Japan?
Use European banks with Japanese operations, Wise or OFX (1-1.5% fees), Japanese banks' European branches, or for students, education payment services. SEPA transfers within Europe then to Japan take 3-4 days. For property or business investments, use forex brokers. Many Europeans studying or working in Japan use Revolut or Wise for regular transfers from European family support.
How do European travelers leverage yen weakness?
Paris to Tokyo routes see record bookings when EUR/JPY exceeds ¥160, making three-star Michelin meals affordable at ¥20,000-30,000 (€125-185 vs €300+ in Paris). Luxury ryokan stays in Hakone or Kyoto cost ¥40,000-80,000 (€250-500 per night)—reasonable versus European equivalents. BOJ's March 2024 exit from negative rates triggered 5% yen strengthening, closing optimal conversion window temporarily. Europeans booking cherry blossom tours (March-April) or autumn foliage (October-November) lock rates 3-4 months ahead. Designer goods at Tokyo's Ginza district offer 20-30% savings versus Paris prices when yen is weak.
How does BOJ-ECB policy divergence affect travelers?
BOJ maintained ultra-low/negative rates while ECB raised rates aggressively—this widened interest rate differential, strengthening euro against yen. European tourists benefit enormously—hotels, meals, shopping all 30-40% cheaper than few years ago. Michelin-star meals affordable, luxury ryokans (traditional inns) reasonable. However, if BOJ raises rates and closes gap with ECB, yen will strengthen—current window may close.
