How accurate the figure is

This page converts with a stable built-in reference rate rather than a live feed, so it answers instantly and keeps working offline. Banks and card networks add a spread of roughly 1–3% on top of the mid-market rate, and airport bureaux considerably more, so treat the JPY figure as a planning number and check your provider before settling a large amount.
