Those with student loans – how are you handling them from Japan?

So I checked my interest and it has started up again. I have been on SAVE for years but I am now freaking out. With how bad the exchange rate is I am not sure what my options are. 5 Years ago I paid off all the interest, but now the interest is sitting at $266 dollars. I want to work on paying the loan but the poor exchange rate has always kept me back. 10,000 yen is barely $65. And to make even around $266 I would have to exchange 50,000 yen. Money I can't afford to lose.

I just don't think this will ever get paid. I don't plan on going back to the states anyway. But I just don't want to ignore it either.
