The formula
How to convert CNY to JPY
Turning Chinese Yuan into Japanese Yen needs nothing more than today's rate and a multiplication. On 1 October 2026 that rate is 23.4379, so:
JPY = CNY × 23.4379
To go from JPY back to CNY, divide by the same rate. Put another way, 0.042666 Chinese Yuan to the Japanese Yen.
The converter at the top of this page does both directions and updates as you type. Every result is recalculated on the server as well, so the number you see is the number that gets stored.

Worked CNY to JPY examples
A price tag. Something marked ¥50 comes to 1171.9 JPY. Round to 1,172 JPY for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. ¥3,000 a month is 70313.85 JPY — useful when you are comparing a job offer across the two markets. Bear in mind the rate moves, so a figure agreed today will not be the figure paid out in six months.
Going the other way. If you are holding ¥1,000 and want to know what it buys in Chinese Yuan, that is 42.6659 CNY. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your ¥500 would fetch roughly 11367.41 JPY instead of 11718.97 JPY. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
One Chinese Yuan is worth 23.4379 Japanese Yen as of 1 October 2026. The rate comes from the daily reference feed and refreshes automatically every morning.

Almost certainly not. What you see here is the mid-market rate, the midpoint of the market. Every retail provider takes a cut on top of it. The value of knowing the mid-market figure is being able to measure that cut.
