A few years ago I opened a checking account at Capital One-360 bank for the amazing exchange rates at ATM's around the world.
All of my withdrawals at Japan 7-11 store ATM's have been at interbank rate with no fees! NRT also has "7 Bank" ATM's.
Important: Notify the bank of travel plans or they will lock the account after the first international withdrawal. I had this happen once and called the bank in MN from Japan to unlock the account.
