Moving to Japan soon, how to pay rental fees?

Hello all, I am on the verge of moving to Japan this month (Feb 2024) and have been in contact with a real estate agent for about two months now. I am not sure how to actually pay for the apartment once my family arrives, as I obviously do not have a Japanese bank account yet, I can’t travel with that much physical money, and I’d guess either they wouldn’t accept American bank cards or they’d be rejected by the bank anyway. Does anyone have any recommendations? The place I’m looking at is very nice and it’s seemingly mine (knocks on wood), but I don’t want to lose it because I can’t give them my money.

Thanks.
