JPY-INR has been driven by the dramatic JPY weakening (BOJ ultra-loose policy) combined with INR weakening — net effect: JPY-INR is roughly flat over 5 years.

❓ FAQ
JPY to INR FAQ.
JPY to INR for repatriating Japanese salary?
Most Indian professionals in Japan repatriate salary in tranches. For amounts under ¥1M ($6,500): Wise charges ~0.5% effective spread JPY-INR with delivery in 1-2 days. For larger amounts (¥5M+): SBI Tokyo branch or Mizuho corporate FX desk offer negotiable rates close to mid-market for established corporate-client relationships. Always check the LRS limit if you're a resident Indian; for NRIs sending NRE remittance, no LRS limit applies.
Why has the Japanese Yen weakened so much?
The Bank of Japan maintained yield curve control and ultra-loose monetary policy long after other central banks tightened in 2022-2024. This created a massive interest rate differential — at the peak, US 10-year Treasuries yielded 4.5% while Japanese 10-year JGBs yielded 0.5%. Result: massive carry trade selling JPY for higher-yielding currencies. BOJ's slow normalization in 2024-2025 partially reversed this but yen weakness remains structural.
Is JPY a good currency to buy now from an INR perspective?
JPY-INR at 0.58 is well below the 5-year peak of 0.68 — historically, JPY looks cheap vs INR. But the BOJ's pace of rate normalization is slow, and INR continues to weaken against USD which limits how much JPY can recover vs INR in the near term. For tourists or Japan-bound students: this is one of the best yen-buying environments in a decade. For pure investment: factor that the yen carry trade unwind may be slow.
