This is why I always keep a bit of cash in my Chinese bank accounts if I'm heading to Japan. Thanks to UnionPay, I can skip the lines of people waiting for the 7-Eleven/Post Office/Citi ATMs and head over to the less crowded Mitsubishi-UFJ or Mizuho machines (or Mitsui-Sumitomo, but they charge UnionPay cardholders 75 yen a pop).
