If you have a foreign bankcard, the only place you will be able to use it are the JP (Japan Post) Bank ATM's, which you can find at any post office. (Although I saw one in a shopping mall once, they might be more common in the mainland.)
You can use your normal ATM card at a JP Post ATM, it doesn't have to be a mastercard or anything.
Although I would recommend taking large amounts of money at a time, since taking out lots of little bits of money will cost you big transaction fees.
Most places I have been do not accept credit cards in any way.
And travellers cheques just seem to piss everyone off.
