To avoid panicking on your first shopping trip, let’s quickly go over the money situation in Kyrgyzstan.<\/p>\n\n

Currency of Kyrgyzstan<\/h3>\n\n

The currency of Kyrgyzstan is the som. As of January 2025, 1 som is worth 1.78 yen.<\/p>\n\n

When you go abroad, you may be confused about how to convert money, but I recommend using the rough conversion of \u201c1 som = 2 yen\u201d for easy understanding.<\/p>\n\n

The latest price situation in 2025<\/h3>\n\n

Prices in Kyrgyzstan have been rising since around 2020. However, they are still much cheaper than in Japan.<\/p>\n\n

For example…<\/p>\n\n

1L water bottle: 60-90 yenLunch at a local restaurant: 500-1,000 yen\u2615\ufe0f Coffee: 300 yen<\/p>\n\n

It’s about 2\/3 of the size of Japan. With this, I’m not afraid of a weak yen!<\/p>\n\n

The opposite pattern, where the price increases.<\/h3>\n\n

Basically, prices in Kyrgyzstan are cheaper than in Japan, but not everything is cheap. In fact, these products are surprisingly expensive.<\/p>\n\n
