How to send money to Japan
Sending money to Japanis straightforward with the right provider. Here's how it works in 3 simple steps.
Step 1
Enter your transfer details
Choose how much USD you want to send, compare providers above, and pick the one offering the best JPY amount for your transfer to Japan.
Step 2
Add your recipient
Enter your recipient's details in Japan — you'll need their bank account number. Complete the provider’s verification before expecting delivery.
Step 3
Send & track your transfer
Choose an available funding method, confirm the final payout and arrival estimate, then keep your tracking reference.
What you need to send money to Japan
Make sure you have these details from your recipient before starting your transfer.
Full name
Recipient's name in katakana or romaji as registered with the bank
Bank account number
7-digit Japanese bank account number
Example: 1234567
Branch code
3-digit branch code identifying the specific bank branch
Example: 001
Bank code
4-digit bank code (e.g. 0001 for Mizuho, 0005 for Mitsubishi UFJ)
Example: 0001
Account type

Note: Japan does not use the IBAN system. Japanese bank transfers require a 4-digit bank code, 3-digit branch code, and 7-digit account number. The recipient's name must be in katakana — romaji (Latin letters) may cause delays if the bank requires katakana matching.

How much does it cost to send money from United States to Japan?
Transfer fees from United States to Japan vary by provider. Specialist services charge $0–10 per transfer, while banks charge $25–50 plus a 2–5% exchange rate markup. The exchange rate markup is usually the bigger cost — always compare the total JPY your recipient receives, not just the advertised fee.
Understanding the total cost
The true cost of a money transfer has two components:
Transfer fee
The upfront charge — typically $0–$10 with specialist providers.
Exchange rate markup
The hidden cost — the difference between the provider's rate and the mid-market rate (153.5580).
