Also even though it is unlikely that you will be robbed or mugged I would not go as far as to say you will not be, I could link a half dozen news paper articles on such a thing but my point should be enough, never say never.

Good advice, I never tried ATM in the banks or 7/11. I actually was thinking of the same line that its safe, but I won't say you will never get rob or mugged. There are areas that are not "Gaijin" friendly, so you probably do want to stay out of those area. Certain corners of kabukicho (歌舞伎ちょ）for example
