Example: a bank or card that sets its rate 3% worse than mid-market would pay 8,294.74 KRW for 1,000 JPY today instead of 8,551.28, keeping 256.54 KRW. This rate moved more than 3% within the month, so timing mattered as much as the margin.

Who converts JPY to KRW, and why

Yen to won is used by Korean travellers in Japan and Japanese visitors to Korea (two of each other's largest tourist markets), and by shoppers buying Japanese or Korean cosmetics and fashion.

Tip: A rough mental rule helps: because 100 yen is worth several hundred won, many Koreans quote yen prices per 100 yen. Use the table below for exact figures, which change with the daily rate.

About the two currencies

The Japanese Yen (JPY) is issued by the Bank of Japan and used in Japan. The yen has no subunit in everyday use, so prices carry no decimals. Coins go up to ¥500 and notes are ¥1,000, ¥5,000 and ¥10,000 (new designs entered circulation in July 2024).

The South Korean Won (KRW) is issued by the Bank of Korea and used in South Korea. Notes run from ₩1,000 to ₩50,000 and there is no decimal subunit in use. A cup of coffee costs several thousand won, so amounts are quoted in thousands or ten-thousands.
