There's a money exchange place in Southgate. I got all my money for Iceland, Italy, Mexico and Germany there...

If you're not in a rush, go to your bank. Theyll be able to order it and you'll get a better rate than you would at an exchange place.

Banks charge for the order and charge a higher rate. There are lots of posts on these sites confirming the lower rates at West Ed or the Airport.

A quick google of the company operating the airport kiosks (ICExchange) and TD's rates suggests TD is, in fact, cheaper.

The Edmonton airport money exchange generally can only change money for a country it directly flies to. So if your flight to Japan connects through another city (like Vancouver), you may have to change your money at that airport.

Thanks Linda!

I just returned from Japan. I have 19,750 yen I can sell you. Otherwise you can try ordering yen through your bank.
