Understood. Did FHR offer the option to pay in Yen rather than Dollars?
It's possible that FHR has a contracted rate, in Dollars, that is stable, regardless of market price or currency fluctuations.
Otherwise, it is possible that American Express used a different exchange rate. Inasmuch as the reservation appears to be refundable I would ask American Express to explain the discrepancy.
