Exporting Cash from Japan in Japan: real experience from chats

Short answer
Travelers exporting cash from Japan may face inquiries from customs, particularly when departing for Russia. While declaring the legal limit of 100,000 JPY is required, customs officials perform selective checks on passengers.

From real experience

When exporting cash from Japan, travelers may be asked about the amount they are carrying, especially if their destination is Russia.
While there's a legal limit (100,000 JPY equivalent), travelers have reported successfully carrying amounts exceeding this by declaring only the permissible limit and omitting the rest, or by stating they are traveling to a third country. Customs officials may selectively inquire and perform checks.
