What is the maximum amount of currency you can legally bring to Japan without declaring it? -

I will travel to Japan in March. When the Canadian dollar was high I bought a lot of yen. But I don t want any hassles entering the country, so what s the most I can legally bring in before having to declare it?

In the United States, the most you can leave the country with is $10,000.00...one penny over and you have to get government authorization.

1 million yen is the maximum you can bring in to Japan.

The amount is (one million) 1,000,000 JPY, which is roughly 9,300 CAD. If you have more you need to declare it on the customs form. Of course the average joe wouldn t want to carry that much on your persons in the first place. You can certainly use ATMs in Japan.
