There are plenty of reasons to need to send money from Japan: repayment of loans in your home country, giving monetary gifts to friends/family, or for moving your savings if you decide to move to a different country.
From my experience, the easiest way is to send money online through Epay.com. Because I found that none of the banks have the ability to provide both the low fee and fast speed. But if your bank has a better ability to handle international transfers, you may think that through the bank is a better choice. Whatever the case may be, it’s best to have an understanding of the options available to you so you can make the best choice for your needs.
Epay-a secure, fast, and more favorable remittance method
I found that Epay is the easiest way to send money from Japan. Whether you are transferring large amounts or small amounts, Epay can provide you with high-quality fees and rates. If your bank in Japan provides online banking services, you can complete all operations online without leaving your house.
Remitting 30,000 yen through Shinsei Bank will cost more than 2,000 handling fees. Japan Post Bank charges ¥7,500 if making an international remittance at a window, or ¥3,000 if using the online Yucho Direct service. and it will take 4 – 7 business days to process the exchange and for your money to be received.
