I'd rather bring some cash but withdraw money once I've gotten in the country, but then it's a means of how easily I'll be able to do that.
Then it's a matter of setting up a credit card that will withdraw from my bank account within a month so I don't have to withdraw from my BoA card again. Do you reccommend any Japanese banks?

I didn't say culture shock. You just keep saying "I am accustomed to this" and "I am accustomed to that" and I am saying you are going to need to get accustomed to some different ways of doing things.
One of those things might be showing up to Japan with 5000 dollars in your pocket.
Exchanging money and transferring money costs money, so you want to do it as little as possible.
