    Unless you have particular talent and insights into exchange rate movements and are on the way to a lucrative career in the forex trade, it is no use assuming that now is the time to buy and hold JPY. You could come out ahead, but you could easily loose instead. Better to make the best interest possible on your savings in GBP and prepare a fee-free way to take and convert them when (and if) you go - see the MSE travel money section.
    you can go ahead a kick yourself for this sarcasticish reply as you were wrong :)
