We strongly recommend exchanging your money into Japanese Yens
at a Currency Exchange counter
of the Narita Airport, on the 1st floor in the arrival lobby.
The information is available from
this Web page.
The exchange rate in the hotels/banks in Mito might not be better.
(Please note that foreign currencies cannot be exchanged in the workshop site.)
We apologize that RICOTTI's Web page is only in Japanese.
