It’s so funny to me how confidently incorrect this comment is.

Yen is still cheaper than at any point in the last year.
It’s not entirely wrong even though there has been a 12% change the last month or so. The Yen is still historically cheap VS USD. Last time I was there you got like 110¥ for 1$. It’s around 140¥ today. But yeah, going there a few months ago would have been better.
When I was there in May, it was well over 150 yen per dollar.

However, even with 140 yen per dollar the prices would be quite good.

And yet you’ve somehow managed to create a reply that’s even worse.
