Best way to exchange money in Japan?
I am going to Japan in one week. I was wondering what's the best way to exchange my money? Traveler's checks? Use my atm card over there? Exchange over here and take it? Take all my cash over and exchange there? What do you guys think? Right now I am thinking of just taking my Wamu card. They only charge a 1% foreign transaction fee. I hear the post office ATM's also don't charge too much to make a withdrawal. Or, if I get a citibank account, I only get 3% foreign transaction fee, and that's it, as long as i do it at a 7 eleven, which there are 3 of in the city I will be staying in. What do you guys think?

7/11s in Japan they have atm machines and are open all night. Just take out as much as you'll need for the following day. Also, Japan is a low crime cash society, it's safe to carry around a wad of cash with you, no joke. Though when I went I only carried around two hundred dollars at a time.
