Buying a house: how to transfer money from overseas?

I’m thinking to pull the trigger on buying a house in Japan. But a lot of my money is in USD in Europe. I’m thinking to transfer around 50-60k USD to Japan to cover the initial fees of buying a property.

What transfer method can you recommend? Will this amount raise any flags? And how do I convert all of it to JPY? Is it just a matter of going to the bank and doing it? 50-60k USD doesn’t seem to be a lot of money in the grand scheme of things but I’m curious what kind of experience did you have.

Thanks for any info!
