About the Japanese Yen to Kenyan Shilling rate
This page converts the Japanese Yen (JPY) into the Kenyan Shilling (KES) at the mid-market rate. Both currencies trade continuously on the foreign exchange market, and the ratio between them moves with interest rates, inflation and the trade flows between their economies. The rate shown here is the neutral reference each bank, card network and bureau de change then builds its own price on top of.
Every figure on this page is a mid-market reading of JPY/KES, dated above. It says where the pair stood at that time, not where it is heading: no rate here is a forecast, a quote, or an offer to exchange.
JPY to KES: common questions
How much is 100 JPY in KES?
100 JPY converts to 81.98 KES at the mid-market rate shown on this page, where one JPY is worth 0.81980 KES. The pair moves through the day, so check the date under the rate before you rely on the figure.
Is 0.81980 the rate my bank will give me?
No. 0.81980 is the mid-market rate for JPY to KES, the midpoint between the buy and sell price and the rate before anyone adds a margin. A bank, a card network or a bureau de change quotes a lower rate on this pair and may charge a fee on top, so expect to receive less than the converted figure shown here.
What is the JPY to KES exchange rate?
One JPY is worth 0.81980 KES, and one KES is worth 1.2198 JPY, at the time shown under the rate. The figure comes from ExchangeRate-API: it is a mid-market reading rather than a live trading price, and every figure on this page, the converter included, uses it.
How do I convert KES back to JPY?
Use the inverse rate: one KES is worth 1.2198 JPY, so multiply your Kenyan Shilling amount by that figure. You can also swap the two currencies in the converter above and the table recalculates in the other direction.
Can I convert JPY to KES without internet?
Yes, in the Android app. It stores the last synced JPY to KES rate on the device and keeps converting with no connection, then updates as soon as you are online again. This website needs a connection, because it fetches the rate when the page loads.
Why does the JPY to KES rate keep changing?
The Japanese Yen and the Kenyan Shilling are priced against each other continuously on the currency market. Interest rates, inflation, trade flows and political news all move the pair, which is why the rate you saw in the morning is rarely the rate you see at night.
Convert JPY to KES offline
The Android app keeps the last synced rates on your phone, so JPY to KES still converts with no connection: on a plane, in a metro, or abroad without a data plan. It also converts one source currency into several targets on one screen, charts the history of every pair, and can send you a push notification when JPY/KES crosses a level you set.
