[edit] Transfering Money Abroad

• Post Offices: At any post office you can buy International Postal money orders payable in US dollars for up to $700. The cost is based on daily bank exchange rates and there is a small fee for making the money order. Convenient for paying bills back home that require check payment if you no longer have a checking account back home, or for sending regular payments to your account back home if you don't have electronic transfer.
• Joyo Bank Gakuen Toshi branch, in the AiAi Mall, 2nd floor, handles foreign exchange for most major currencies. They also make out bank checks for any amount, and sell American Express traveler's checks.
