Requesting money in JPY needs sender having account??

Hi, I live in the US and a relative is sending me gift money from Japan. To make it easier for him, I requested the money from my PayPal account (I requested it in Japanese yen), but when he opened the email, it asked him to create an account. No "Pay as Guest" option. This is too complicated for my relative, and I was wondering whether there is anything I am doing wrong since I know a sender is not required to create an account.

Thanks!

The option to pay without opening a PayPal account is only available for sending payments to merchants.
