JPY/HKD — Japanese Yen and Hong Kong Dollar

Hong Kong is one of Japan's top five tourism-origin markets. Millions of HK residents travel to Japan annually, making JPY/HKD the most-checked corridor rate in Hong Kong convenience stores and airport exchanges.

JPY/HKD captures the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the Hong Kong dollar — a significant travel and investment corridor with over 2.5 million Hong Kong residents visiting Japan annually and substantial bilateral trade. The conventional market quote in Hong Kong is JPY/HKD (how many HKD per 100 yen), reflecting local convention.

Hong Kong's currency board system pegs HKD tightly to USD within a 7.75–7.85 band. This means JPY/HKD primarily moves when USD/JPY moves, since HKD tracks USD closely. Any structural yen moves (BoJ policy, global safe-haven) pass through almost entirely into JPY/HKD.

For travelers and remittance senders between Japan and Hong Kong, JPY/HKD is the most practical rate to monitor. Department stores, hotels, and money-exchange shops in both cities quote the pair directly.

Frequently asked questions

Why does JPY/HKD move so closely with USD/JPY?
The Hong Kong dollar is pegged to USD within a narrow band maintained by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Because HKD barely moves against USD, nearly all JPY/HKD movement comes from the JPY side — driven by BoJ policy, risk flows, and USD/JPY itself.
What is the typical JPY/HKD rate range?
It moves inversely with USD/JPY. Currently 100 yen ≈ 4.9 HKD (see the live rate above). A stronger yen (lower USD/JPY) produces a higher JPY/HKD rate; a weaker yen (higher USD/JPY) produces a lower rate.
Can the Hong Kong dollar peg break?
The peg has held since 1983 and is backed by substantial foreign exchange reserves (over $400bn as of 2024). Markets have periodically tested the band; the HKMA intervenes when the rate approaches 7.85. Peg risk exists but is considered low probability.
Is JPY/HKD a useful rate for travel planning?
Yes. At roughly 100 yen ≈ 4.9 HKD (see the live rate above), a budget of 100,000 yen translates to approximately 4,900 HKD. The rate refreshes approximately every 60 seconds on this page.
How does the Bank of Japan's intervention affect JPY/HKD?
BoJ or Ministry of Finance yen-buying intervention strengthens JPY, pushing JPY/HKD higher (each yen buys more HKD). The 2022–2024 intervention episodes had significant effects visible in the pair.
Does the API provide live intraday JPY/HKD rates?
Yes. Both JPY and HKD are in our live-updating currencies on exchangerate.dev, updating approximately every 60 seconds. The response carries market_session so you can identify whether the rate comes from an active interbank session or a weekend period.
How is JPY/HKD used by businesses with Japan-Hong Kong flows?
Importers and exporters use the pair for hedging FX exposure on bilateral invoices. Given the HKD peg, most risk management is effectively equivalent to hedging USD/JPY, with minor residual basis risk.
