The exchange rate is terrible; it only converts foreign currencies to Japanese yen, so visitors should avoid using it.

I found the exchange rate excellent, and the machine is easy to operate and quick. I exchanged Hong Kong dollars for yen and was satisfied with the rate.

This machine exchanges foreign currencies for yen and can also top up IC cards like Suica and WAON, but it does not dispense cash. It is uncommon to find a machine that handles Vietnamese dong, which incurs a fee of around 30%. The device is located inside a crane game shop in the East-West Passageway.
