Japanese yen this morning near PLN 1.3479

The Japanese yen exchange rate on 19.05.2026 stands at PLN 1.3479. This is the 7:00 a.m. reading, important above all for people planning a trip to Japan and for those who settle accounts in this currency.

In everyday shopping, the yen is not used in Poland as often as the euro or the dollar, but for some travelers and companies it remains an important currency. At this level of JPY/PLN, currency conversion costs are still significant on larger amounts.

On a daily basis, the change is PLN 0.9450, and over the week the exchange rate has also moved by PLN 0.9450. This points to a short-term shift worth tracking before exchanging a larger sum.

For people buying currency at a kantor (currency exchange office), the most important thing is that the yen remains at a level that can affect the cost of a stay in Japan, tickets, a hotel or spending on the ground. On trips like these, even a small difference in the exchange rate can change the final budget.
