Those of you who are contemplating a trip to Japan in the immediate future, you're in luck!
The U.S. dollar has exceeded ¥103 for the first time in six months today.
According to an article in The Japan Times:
The dollar climbed to a six-month high above ¥103 in Tokyo trading Tuesday, drawing strength from better than expected U.S. economic data and a rise in Japanese stock prices.
At 5 p.m., the dollar was quoted at ¥103.05-07, up from ¥102.52-53 at the same time Monday.This means that travelers will receive 103 yen for every dollar exchanged. Two years ago (October 2011), the dollar only bought around 75 yen in exchange.
