I am planning to go to Japan and have enough yen and dollars, but which is more economical, using the yen I have or exchanging dollars for yen ？
I think it is better to use dollars because of the weak yen, but there are fees involved.
If it is better to exchange money, I would also like to know the recommended exchange offices.

Whether or not to use your yen is a matter of what you can afford to lose if the yen appreciates in the future.
If the dollar continues to be relatively strong （ until it drops to 130 yen or so, I don't think you will regret spending yen now.
On the other hand, if the yen goes extremely strong (¥80 - ¥100 ）), I will wish I had not used yen at that time.

At the end of last year and during my stay in Japan this summer, I paid as much as possible with credit cards denominated in dollars, and only used the yen I had for cash payments. Even small purchases at convenience stores are now conveniently accepted by credit card. Also, the effect of 140 yen per dollar was quite impressive.
