To carry cash or not

Hello all!

I am currently living in India and will be moving to Japan for work at the end of this month. Since we don't get paid in the beginning, I will be required to carry some amount. What will be the better option?

My local forex rate is 1 JPY = 0.58 INR. They also charge GST at 18%.

My bank's withdrawal charges are as follows: 100 INR min. + 3.5% of txn. amount + 18% Tax.

Should I carry cash or withdraw money from the 7Eleven ATM in Japan?
