How much is Yen compared to dollars?

I am just wondering like...how much is a dollar in yen.

Whenever I'm watching an anime show, It is always confusing if someone says that something costs like...800 yen, and I immediately think that it's a lot of money.

Am I making any sense?

If you understand what I'm asking, please tell me! Thanks!

    800 Yen To Usd

    Yes, there are approximately 95.6 yen in one dollar (today), but the best way to approximate it is 100 yen to a dollar.

    Thus, the 100 yen shops that are all over Japan are the equivalent of our "Dollar store".

    But Japan has crazy pricing on a lot of things. Like a plain medium sized pizza will run you approximately 30 dollars...higher in Tokyo.

    4,800yen = $48.00. Remember what ever the first number is if it is a 4 digit number ( usually 1000) in yen it equals $10 in US Dollars. The 3 numbers left are for example 600yen equals $6 US Dollars. ( hope this helps)
