  The four arrows denote the price of Yen (HK$ per 100 yen) in my previous visits to Japan (specifically, Tokyo)

  

  — In 2006 and 2007 (total 3 visits), the exchange rate was about HK$6.3 – HK$6.5 per 100 yen

  — In 2008… it rose to HK$7.6 per 100 yen

  — In summer of 2009, it was already over HK$8.0 per 100 yen

  — In Nov-2009, it once surged over HK9.0 per 100 yen (now at about HK$8.6)

  So when I am thinking to visit Japan again in January 2010, I have such strong hesitation. It is just so expensive.

  In USD terms, the graph for yen will be like this :
