What is the JPY/KRW exchange rate today?
1 Japanese Yen buys 8.87943 South Korean Won, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Aug 13, 2026, 2:55 AM UTC. The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices banks trade at — the fair reference rate, not the price you’ll be charged.
How often does the JPY/KRW rate update?
The live rate refreshes about once a minute, and every reading is stamped with its own UTC time so you always know how fresh it is. Past daily points are immutable — once a day closes, its rate never changes.
Why is this different from my bank’s rate?
The rate here is mid-market; banks and apps quote a slightly worse rate and keep the difference as their margin. For example, change ¥1,000 at 8.87943 and you’d receive ₩8,879. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about ₩8,702 — roughly ₩178 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.
How has JPY/KRW moved recently?
Over the last 64 trading days, JPY/KRW ranged from 8.79892 to 9.63908, averaging 9.31982. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
