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.

I routinely have taken Y40,000 at a time from Citibank ATMs for some years. Maybe it was your account that had the limits?

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.

The rest of the bank's name can be rendered accurately in katakana.

The same page in Japanese makes it clearer that they are talking about outgoing transfers (furikomi), not withdrawals.
As far as I can tell, the Citibank ATM will only impose a withdrawal limit if your home institution has imposed a limit. (Citibank itself imposes a default limit of JPY500,000 which can be raised by the customer if desired)

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...

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.

There's one Citibank on Koshu Kaido down the hill from the South Entrance of JR Shinjuku (when leaving the station turn right and go down the hill). 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.
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...
