About JPY to LKR
The Japanese Yen (JPY) is the currency of Japan. The rate on this page is the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's daily indicative rate: the number of Sri Lankan rupees for 1 JPY, published once each business day. When the number rises, the rupee has weakened against the Japanese Yen; when it falls, the rupee has strengthened.
Common questions
- What is the JPY to LKR rate today?
- On 22 Oct 2026 the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's indicative rate was 2.1010 rupees for 1 Japanese Yen. It is a reference rate; banks buy JPY below it and sell above it.
- Is the rupee getting stronger or weaker against the Japanese Yen?
- Over the past year the rate has gone from 1.9986 to 2.1010, so the rupee is 5.1% weaker against the Japanese Yen. Over the last 52 weeks it ranged from 1.9409 to 2.1460.
- What is the highest JPY to LKR rate?
- Since May 2010, the highest indicative rate was 2.8414 on 30 May 2022 and the lowest was 1.0679 on 8 Jun 2015.
- Why is my bank's JPY rate different?
- Banks quote a buying rate (what they pay you for JPY) and a selling rate (what they charge you) either side of the indicative rate, and the gap differs by bank and by whether it is a telegraphic transfer, cash or a draft. Check the bank's own rates before you transact.
