Cha-Ching! Thought I'd take a picture of the money. I cashed a 50,000Y note for the train ride in. Oh yeah, from Narita I took the "Kesei - Skyliner Express" It's about $20, but worth it. Takes you right in with minimal stops. I paid that much coming in to Paris from Charles de Gaulle via a van that had other people to drop off.

Do yourself a big favor and don't exchange your American bucks until you get here. The exchange rate was a rip at SFO and I'm glad I waited until I got to Narita. It's a no brainer, just fill out the form of what you're giving the guy and he'll do the rest. Make sure you put the money in the tray he pushes out. (In fact put the money in the tray wherever you make a purchase and you'll look like a local. Psst...wait for your change to come back in the tray as well. )
