Changing money in Japan

[shikshin]

Been checking through the forum, but posts are quite old. Is the general consensus still to bring cash, because of the lack of money changers in japan? I'm currently in s.korea, changed like $200sgd to jpy but lost quite a bit @ 1sgd/85jpy.
also, does anyone know how much posb charges if i draw from japanese atm?

５ bucks for posb per withdrawal.

1000 yen is 11.76 sing for u.

Take 1000 yen divide by 85, then u get ur rate le.

only $5/withdrawal? that's not too bad, i think i'll just use the atm then. thank you!
