I got through with an average day budget of 4000 Yen for transport other than JR, food, sights, activities and souveniers including the compulsory visit to Akihabara. Large amounts of cash are mostly no problem, but as always keep it close to your body - better: at two different places. 7-11 has ATMs all over the country and accepts almost everything as long as your card has a PIN, have a look at the 7-11 bank webpage. Other alternatives are the post and citybank, but I heard fees are ridiculous for the latter. At least take enough YEN (!) with you, that you don't need to exchange money at the airport and that you can arrange a money tranfer from a family member/friend if your card doesn't work. (Note: If balance inquiry doesn't work, that doesn't mean you can't withdraw money!)
