Yen and Money in Japan - 08-24-2009, 02:39 PM

I'll be traveling to Japan and I've read on the forums a lot of places don't use credit cards so I'll need some cold, hard cash while I'm there. I found some good information on the money on the wiki page but I had a few questions I was hoping someone here could help with.
  • Do most ATMs take foreign cards?
  • Are most ATMs in English?
  • If I bring some 10k bills are they going to be usable? For example in the States most places won't/can't break a $100 bill and even a $50 is too high some places.
  • Does anyone have a recommendation for a good bank to use in Japan from the States? My bank has some very high fees.

Thank you all for your help!
