Hi everyone, I live in Canada but need to send money in yen (¥4000) to a Japanese address to complete some work registration. Are there any companies/ organizations who can do this on my behalf? It’d be going to an address written in Kanji which is why I’m not sure how to go about facilitating this from Canada. I also have my Japanese mailbox address if that matters at all in this process.
I wouldn’t recommend trying to send cash through the post.
Alternatively if you want to send 4000yen to someone’s bank account in Japan transferwise is probably the best option (as it’s great for smaller amounts) - see this article How to Transfer Money to Japan: Remittance Services, Banks & More | Tokyo Cheapo
If you have an investment bank account, like Merril Lynch or Schwab, doing a money transfer to Japan is much easier. If that is an option, I would look into it…
