Posts: 490I just went to tobita for the first time a couple months ago. I'd swear I must've looked like an idiot with a smile on my face because I felt like I'd died and went to heaven. Had my 2nd most beautiful girl ever there. #1 was in sapporo. I also had this one hapa girl that looked like a young angela maki. 4 nights in osaka and had 2 tobita girls, one British independent that looked like claire danes, and my very first nampa! So proud of myself. Trying to go back early next year.

Posts: 17Possible help for this weekend
What's up gang. Have been off island for a while now and am making a trip back to oahu for the weekend. Have been trying to research, but have not found exactly what I'm looking for. Not sure if you remember the names Jessica, Patty, Erlinda, but was wondering if any of you have similar suggestions and types of service that they gave. Simple but worth every penny. Although the new one at 801 sounds very tempting. If I get a chance to see anyone I will report. Thank you all again. I miss living there for this reason only.

As always, great knowledge from the ohana here.
I guess I should be happy, then, as I use both the XE currency app and have been to the aforementioned Waikiki store to exchange my USD to yen.
Back in 2015, it was 121 . Huuu boy did I make it rain all up in Japan! So much omiyage brought home to friends and family.
Craving Tobita now- too bad it's a snowball chance in Hell to ever revisit that place. Sigh.
Mahalo nui loa.

Posts: 2479If you have friends that own stores in Waikiki, you can do this. My friend's store would take yen, but of course, their rate would be kind of low to the tourist. Using FCH's low buy rate of 102, the store would pay maybe 95. I could then buy it from my friend at the 95 rate, and amass enough for travel. Likewise, if you have Filipino or Korean friends, they may have some pesos or won you can buy from them at a good rate.

However, when I call the Currency Exchange, they are only offering 102.25 JPY per dollar + $9. 95 service fee + $5 handling fee. BOH offering no fees but exchange rate of 99.425 JPY per dollar.
It is a marketplace like any other where demand dictates price, The best you can do is to known what the big boys are trading at and try to get as close to that rate as possible. That knowledge is what the app provides.

Howzit Hinode! Mahalo for all your posts. Enjoy all the commentary. Been using yahoo currency converter. This is update almost daily. If you type in country or currency type it will take you to a page with all the info, trends etc. By and large I have had the best success converting cash at the airport upon arrival before leaving baggage claim but before customs. Sometimes currency exchange is after customs. Just depend on the country. I would rather exchange currency at airport rather than hotel. Also if you have a friend there sometimes black market is better exchange. Have done that In Bali and PI and got a better rate. Make sure you trust the person before handing your cash over. Have fun!
Aloha.
