I use an app called Firstwise to exchange money because the rates are pretty bad if you do it at a bank or exchange office. You can put money in dollars and change it to the currency of the country you are in and keep it in the app. I either withdraw it with my debit card or use it as a debit when I travel.

As for banks, SHWAB allows me to withdraw money from ATMs all over the world without any fees, so I have that too.　I don't carry cash, but I don't carry the smallest amount of cash because touchless machines work everywhere in Europe.

I use the Wise app to order a debit card and charge
the funds to the card according to my destination.
I can also withdraw cash from local ATMs. ！
I used it last year in Europe and Japan, and it was really useful to be able to charge additional funds
quickly on the app when I ran out of money.
You can charge different currencies within one debit card, so it might be a good idea to add more
when the rate is good.

I exchanged money last year at the currency exchange in the International Market Place. It is on the first floor on the Kuhio side where Mitsuwa is located.
I parked inside and they gave me a validation.
It's safer to have a little cash on you.
Enjoy your trip!
