Is it practical/should I consider changing currency in YYZ? (Is NRT currency changing fast enough?)
Thanks,
For such a small amount, I'd go with the method with which you feel most comfortable. If that is the exchangers, so be it. I've used them once. There is a form which requires your name, hotel, etc. and they look at your passport and tell you the amount of yen that you'll receive. If you agree, the transaction is completed. There was no line when I did it. All in, it took about 5 minutes.
FWIW the limosine bus company accepts credit cards. Conversely, you could also buy the tickets beforehand

I've never purchased those tickets in that manner before but I've yet to have a problem with the rail passes so I imagine that it is a similar process.
Cheers,
