PayPal/MC debit card at ATMs

I only have a PayPal debit card, which is issued from Mastercard. Does anyone know if I will be able to withdraw cash from Japanese ATMs? I know the 7-Elevens accept international cards, but wondering if anyone has any advice.

I was planning on exchanging a little bit of currency at the airport and then withdrawing the rest of it from ATMs as needed. Is that a bad idea?

No, that how I usually recommended people exchange money when travelling in Japan.

Although if they are from countries other than the USA then they are often best off exchanging cash in their home country, or not at all and just using good value cards with minimal foreign exchange fees to withdraw from ATMs in Japan.

Good point. Non-USD/Euro countries should check their specific options. Also, I too recommend using a (no foreign transaction fee) credit card as much as possible for the best rates, and the atms to get actual cash (which you still need, just not as much).
