To determine how much the yoga mat cost Samantha in terms of Japanese yen, we need to convert the 250 Mexican pesos to Japanese yen. 
First, we need to convert the Mexican pesos to U.S. dollars:

Then, we need to convert the U.S. dollars to Japanese yen:

14.075 U.S. dollars x 102.04 Japanese yen/U.S. dollar = 1,437.04 Japanese yen

Therefore, the yoga mat cost Samantha approximately 1,411 Japanese yen.
