(1,000 yen is about nine US dollars)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s about the price of two or three fancy coffee drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The price doesn’t sound like a lot of money, but 1000 yen is enough to buy a week’s worth (5 meals) of food at the supermarket. I don’t think 1000 yen will buy you a week’s worth of groceries at most supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thousand yen can buy an A5-size notebook, which is not very much compared to the price of imported goods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, even if foreigners think 1000 yen sounds like a lot of money, Japanese who have never used foreign currencies think that 10 US dollars are only 100 yen, so 1000 yen is like 100 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suppose you think it’s not very much, considering that prices in Japan are higher than in other countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In that case, 500 yen is about 4 US dollars, and 600 yen is the same as 5 US dollars<\/strong>, so even though Japan has expensive food, it seems cheap compared with foreign currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can’t compare them directly like that, but you can buy a week’s worth of food for 1000 yen (9 US dollars).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYen<\/th> Dollars Conversion<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> 500 Yen<\/strong><\/td> $4.4<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 1000 Yen<\/strong><\/td> $9<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 3000 Yen<\/strong><\/td> $26<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 5000 Yen<\/strong><\/td> $44<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 10000 Yen<\/strong><\/td> $88<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 100000 Yen<\/strong><\/td> $877<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n What can 1000 yen get you in Japan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
