Money transfers with Wise – is it really better than normal banks?

So I am expecting some money transfers in the coming months (not much) from a country whose currency is neither Euro nor Dollar. I thought the easiest would be to get the money transferred to my Japanese bank account, but Yucho only works with proxy banks (a USA Bank and a German one. They do not accept direct yen transfers).

I heard that Wise is cool in that you can hold various currencies, but what I am not convinced about is the ATM limits on how much money you can withdraw without incurring any extra fees.

What I am wondering is, would it be best to get a Wise account or would it be easier to get a bank account with another Japanese bank that accepts international bank transfers in yen?
