Japanese Yen exchange in LA — questions

Where is the best place to exchange yen in LA?

The best live yen rate in LA County is shown at the top of this page. Established Downtown and Westside exchangers generally beat airport and hotel kiosks by a wide margin.

Should I get yen in LA or in Japan?

Japan is still cash-friendly, so landing with some yen helps. A competitive LA storefront rate is usually close to what you’d get at a Japanese bank counter — and far better than the LAX kiosk — so exchanging a base amount before you fly is reasonable.
