Note that the Citibank isn't the only option anymore; there are international-card friendly 7-BANK ATMs in both terminals as well. In T1 they're near the Citibank ATM, but in T2 they're down on the train level and thus right along the path you'd take if you're heading to the N'Ex or the Keisei line.

Does this problem still exist? |
CitiBank!
I always use the CitiBank ATM as I am a CitiBank customer and it's right on the way to the elevators down to the JR ticket office and the N'Ex train into Tokyo station. There have been a couple of times when there was a line, but it's never been excessive, and I've never seen it down, though I'm sure that it happens.
I don't know if there are any CitiBank ATMs in Tokyo, but I do know of one in downtown Kyoto. Again, very convenient for getting local currency without paying a "service" fee. |
There are a moderate number of Citibank branches throughout the greater Tokyo area.

I always enjoy seeing the large citibank signs outside the branches with the bank's name written in katakana. It's nice to see that sort of honesty ;)
The rest of the bank's name can be rendered accurately in katakana. |
Shinjuku

I ran across a CitiBank ATM a couple of blocks from my hotel in the Ginza last week. That, plus a Starbucks and a Lawson's and I was set! ^

The following link lists Citibank atm locations (with maps) throughout Japan:
http://www.citibank.co.jp/en/atm/index.html At the same link Citibank explains that atm transactions exceeding 100,000yen are not permitted. In compliance with statutory reforms regarding individual identification, we are unable to accept ATM-based cash transfers exceeding 100,000yen from late December, 2006. This measure is taken to comply with statutory reforms regarding individual identification procedures pertaining to the prevention of money laundering / terrorist funding, based on requests from the international community. Cash transfers exceeding 100,000yen can be processed over the counter. Please bring your alien registration card with you. [Handling Hours] Domestic Transfer : weekdays 9:00-13:30 Domestic Inter-branch Remittance : weekdays 9:00-15:00 Cash transfers using cash cards are accepted. For more, please inquire at the branch or through CitiPhone Banking. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. |
The same page in Japanese makes it clearer that they are talking about outgoing transfers (furikomi), not withdrawals.
10万円を超えるATMでの現金振込みについて シティバンクのATMでは、2006年12月下旬より、10万円を超える現金のお振込みはお取扱いできませ ん。 国際的な要請に基づく、マネー・ローンダリング／テロ資金供与防止のための本人確認手続に関する法令の改正 に伴うものです。 現金10万円を超えるお振込みの場合は、窓口にてお取扱いいたします。 窓口にお越しの際は本人確認書類をお持ちください。 |

I can attest to the fact that there are two stations within walking distance of Shinjuku...in opposite directions of one another.
And if you're hungry, there's a ramen shop directly across the alley from the Citibank. On the right side entrance, there's a ticket machine and an english menu either on the top or on the side of the ticket machine. Take some of your newly gotten cash and get yourself something to eat...:D |

NRT Ginza (Apple Store and Nissan Gallery!) Shibuya Roppongi Crossing (great for gaijin who drink) Both Shinjuku Branches (ramen at one, books at another) Makuhari Messe (big convention center in Chiba) Akasaka Shinagawa These are either all business centers or places that are popular destinations. Of course, I'd appreciate it if Citibank were to open some ATMs in Asakusa or in the Shitamachi area, but since I'm going to these places ANYWAY, it's nice to have cash handy... ^ |
I may be in the minority here, but I use very little cash when I go to Japan. I have about $20 worth of Yen that I got years ago that I carry around with me for an emergency, but I never use it.
I have a Suica card that I recharge ocassionally. If you'll be on the trains a lot, I highly recommend you get one. Plus, you can use the card at most of the stores/kiosks in the train stations. Other than that I use my credit card everywhere else. |

You'll see a stoplight and a "Family Kitchen" fast food restaurant with a clock on it. Cross the street and walk for about a minute. It will be on your right. Can't miss it.
