When was the last time you were in Japan? These days I pay more than 90% of my purchases with my card. I think with 60000 Yen in cash I could go for 2 weeks, even when doing sightseeing and going to "traditional places" like temples.
Citibank cash machines work as well, but the post office is a good safer.
