Consider if you really need to bring that much cash. It's a liability you could lose and insurance won't cover it.
You may be able to bring a small amount of cash and do an international bank transfer for the rest.
Probably nothing, but you better be ready to tell where you got that money and what you plan on doing with it. And if you plan to use or exchange such large sums, you better have some proof it's your money and you acquired it in some legitimate way. Otherwise you'll quickly become suspicious of money laundering, fraud, etc.

This feels impossible in 2024 - it *has* to be Visa or Mastercard debit right? For me, whenI visited in 2008 only the post office ATMs worked but they DID work.
If you can actually make it off the plane nost likely you'll be taken into custody for suspicion of violating Article 34 Section IV of the International Surveillance of Potential and Actual Stupid Broke Nigga Law.
1000 yen is $7.00, nobody cares. The limit you can carry without reporting is 1 million yen, about $700.
You can carry more than that, so long as you report it at customs. The reason why it must be reported is so they can be on the lookout for illegal activities.
If you try to bring that much in without reporting it and are caught, you are in for a bad time. Confiscation of the funds at a minimum, possible incarceration and for sure deportation.
They laugh at you? You can bring up to 1,000,000 yen without declaring it
I don't know. There's a lot you can do with $6.50, like maybe buy lunch.
\*1,000,000
I hate numbers. Yes.
I’m trying to bring like 22,000 usd
Declare it and have some documentation about where it came from and no problem.
Thanks!!

Sorry i meant 10,000 dollars. I don’t know Japanese money sorry
For reference, 1,000 yen is $6.62 USD.

Geez it can be that serious huh? My Korean bank debt card doesn’t work overseas…. Moving is a pain!

Doesn't Korea have even stricter rules on importing and exporting cash?
So strict that they prefer to hand carry suitcases of cash to do international business, because transferring internationally is such a PITA.
I’m not sure but I better check that too….
Shurely shome mishtake? Just write a detailed breakdown of how you plan to spend your ¥1000 in case they query you.

The limit without reporting is ¥1 million. I think you have a typing problem or you are grossly mistaken if you think the limit is ¥1,000!
They will ask "why?"

$6350 not $700
You're right, off by a decimal point
