Please note that this converter is only for you to get an idea of the total cost in your currency, as we only accept payments in yen. Don't worry, Paypal makes it easy to pay in yen. Also, these rates are the inter-bank rates (ie. only for large transactions between banks), and the rate you get will be different by a few percent.
Orders from within Japan can be paid by either Paypal or domestic bank transfer (furikomi). *Note that if you are in Japan and choose to pay by bank transfer, we will give you a discount by removing the Paypal fees which are built in to the prices. Ask us for details!
For customers outside of Japan, we only accept Paypal for payments. With Paypal, you can make your payment from a bank account or credit card. It also allows you to easily pay in yen.
If you don't have a Paypal account yet, that's OK! You can still pay with Paypal by credit card without opening a Paypal account. If you'd like to pay from your bank account, click here to sign up.
Note that payments with Paypal from a credit card or your Paypal balance are processed instantly, but payments from your bank account will take a few days to clear. We will not purchase your tickets until payment has cleared.
