Japan: ATM Machines
Planning to head to Japan soon. Was wondering if anyone has any advice about how to get cash when needed? … Can I use my Australian ATM card in a Japanese bank ATM machine?

Will definitely be carrying some cash but will still need to access some more.
Would be really grateful for advice from Forumites.
Thanks
