Need suggestion about places to buy foreign currency in Tokyo/Kanagawa area.
I want to pick up all at once but apparently in some places i checked in Shinjuku either their exchange rate was so damn high or they had limited amount of currency available. Like at one place rate was good but they only had 500€ available.

Load up the TransferWise card and withdraw cash at ATM’s at the destination airport?
I frequently change money at the NINJA MONEY EXCHANGE in Shinjuku. Their rates are among the best in Tokyo. They buy/sell all the major currencies. They typically update their rate at 11:00 am every morning. [https://www.interbank.co.jp/ninja/](https://www.interbank.co.jp/ninja/)
Get a Revolut account. Money changers are an 80s leftover business model and have never been a good deal anywhere.
I almost always just use a bank. I’ve used both Mizuho and SMBC. Normally several thousands of euros to JPY but you should be able to go the other direction.
