Better USD to Yen exchange rate at bank in airport or bank in city?
I was planning on changing money at the post office in the airport since they have the best rate (http://www.2think.org/dollar-yen-change.shtml). However, my plane doesn't land until after the post office closes at 4 p.m. The banks' rate is posted here: http://www.narita-airport.or.jp/exchange_e/index.h... and it looks like they have about a 6% spread between buy and sell with cash which isn't horrible, but it can really add up if you are changing thousands of USD into yen. Is the spread less than 6% if I get my USD changed into yen at a regular bank in downtown Tokyo instead of at the Narita airport banks?
Does anyone have a link for current post office exchange rates in Japan?

I don't think there is so much difference between Narita and downtown Tokyo as this exchange buro has the same exchange rate with the one you showed.

I don't think they put the rate on Internet.
The below is their exchange service page. But they do not have rate there.

Instead of bringing all those cash in different currencies, the best way to travel is bring your credit card or ATM card. When you reach your destination, exchange your currency at the bank and you will always be served everywhere. Local vendors, most them won't accept those local currencies because they don't know what currencies they are and how much is the official exchange. Few will accept them, but with a very low rate than the actual exchange rate.

You can go to a cash machine at any 7-11 and holdings, the japan post office or the citibank in shinjuku and shibuya. It will accept your foreign ATM and the Citibank Atm gave me a great exchange rate when I was there in January.
