Hey there! In Hakone, you can exchange currency at banks, post offices, and some hotels. For low-fee ATMs, look for 7-Eleven, Japan Post, or Citibank ATMs. These usually have the best rates and fewer fees. I recommend withdrawing larger amounts less frequently to save on multiple ATM fees. Also, consider using a travel card like Revolut or Wise for easy and cost-effective transactions. Most major credit cards are widely accepted, but it's good to have some cash on hand, especially in more remote areas. Enjoy your autumn trip and don't forget to check your bank's international transaction fees before you go! Safe travels!
