If you have an overseas debit card, you should be good to withdraw from post office. Not sure about fees though. Last time I tried my overseas accout, I could only use the post office.
Can pull out 100,000 for a fee of 220 at 7/11 bank. My home bank doesn’t add any extra fees and the conversion is pretty good, so that works for me. They will ask you if you want 7 bank to convert it for you, but depending on your bank that almost always should be a worse exchange rate.
Schwab checking account debt card at 7/11 bank ATM. No fee from Schwab, standard Visa exchange rate (which is typically about as good as you can expect), and 220y fee for the ATM is reimbursed by Schwab at the end of the month.
My Starling (UK) account has no fee to withdraw at 7-11 but everything else is 110/220 yen.
No but a lot of foreign banks offer foreign atm fee refunds if you keep enough cash in your foreign account. Sometimes it’s limited to a certain number of times per month. But if you got a lot then it can be unlimited.
Depends on the foreign bank.
I’ve found the AEON ATMs in Ministop are fee-free with my foreign Visa card!
Transfer it to your Japanese account then withdraw it from the ATM for free.
Transfer costs into Japan are typically much lower than transfers out of Japan.
