Current rate
1 INR = 1.86 JPY as of 2026-05-17. INR has appreciated dramatically against JPY over five years (from ~1.47 to 1.86) as BoJ ultra-loose policy crushed the yen while India retained higher real rates. With the BoJ slowly normalizing in 2025-26, the yen has stabilized but remains historically cheap, making Japan exceptionally affordable for Indian tourists.

❓ FAQ
INR to JPY FAQ.
Why is the yen so cheap versus the rupee now?
The Bank of Japan held negative rates until 2024 while RBI maintained policy rates near 6.5%, creating a 5-7% rate gap that pushed JPY down ~25% versus INR over five years. Japan tourism from India has more than doubled as a result.
Best way to carry JPY for a Japan trip from India?
A mix of forex card (BookMyForex Multi-currency, Niyo Global) and ~20% cash from BookMyForex or Thomas Cook. JCB and Visa work nationwide; Suica/PASMO IC cards for transit can be loaded via Apple Wallet using foreign Visa.
Is Japan really cheap for Indian travelers now?
Compared to 2019, yen-denominated prices in Tokyo and Kyoto have risen modestly while INR/JPY has surged 25%+. Net effect: a Japan trip is 15-20% cheaper for Indians today than pre-pandemic, especially food, transit, and mid-tier hotels.
