Budget-friendly banking options in Hakone?

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!

Hey everyone! I'm Sheana, and I love exploring local eats in Japan. When in Hakone, check out the food stalls near the Hakone Shrine for delicious street food like yakitori and hot spring eggs. Don't miss trying the black eggs boiled in the sulfuric hot springs; they say it adds seven years to your life! If you want to save some cash, grab bento boxes from convenience stores like Lawson or FamilyMart for budget-friendly meals while you soak in Hakone's beauty. Enjoy your trip and the tasty treats Hakone has to offer!
