What is the HKD/JPY exchange rate?
The HKD/JPY rate tracks how many Japanese Yen one Hong Kong Dollar buys. The yen is the world's third most-traded currency and a traditional safe haven. JPY pairs tend to move sharply during global market stress as investors repatriate capital into yen-denominated assets.
HKD is issued by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) (ranked 9th globally - meaning it's the 9th most bought and sold currency in the world). JPY is issued by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) (ranked 3rd). Full HKD profile | Full JPY profile
Is today's HKD/JPY rate good or bad?
The Hong Kong Dollar to Japanese Yen mid-market rate shown above is the reference price before any provider adds fees or markup. It is not a guaranteed quote - your bank, card issuer, or transfer service will offer a different rate that includes their margin.
On a typical conversion, banks add 0.5-1.5% to this rate. The gap between the mid-market rate and what you actually receive is the real cost of converting - often larger than any flat fee. Because HKD/JPY is a pegged or near-pegged rate, the bank's exchange rate risk is minimal - but they still charge for the service. Focus on fees rather than timing.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to use a card or withdraw cash for Japanese Yen?
For most travelers, a card with no foreign transaction fee is the simplest and cheapest option - provided you always choose to pay in Japanese Yen (the local currency) rather than Hong Kong Dollar. Choosing your home currency triggers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which typically adds 3-5% on top. If you need cash, withdraw from ATMs in-country rather than exchanging at airports.
Why does HKD/JPY barely move?
The Hong Kong Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar within a narrow band of 7.75-7.85, maintained by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority since 1983. This linked exchange rate system means USD/HKD moves very little compared to free-floating pairs. For other currencies against HKD, the peg means the rate closely mirrors the USD rate.
Is the Japanese Yen a safe-haven currency?
Historically, yes. The Yen tends to strengthen during market selloffs because Japanese investors hold large foreign assets and often repatriate funds during crises. Japan's current account surplus and deep, liquid bond market reinforce this safe-haven status. This means HKD/JPY may drop sharply during periods of global market stress.

How this rate is calculated
We prefer a direct rate from our primary data source when one is available. If a direct quote is unavailable, we compute a cross-rate through a major intermediary currency (usually USD or EUR). When a rate is derived rather than directly quoted, we label it on the page. Full methodology.
