Which banks in Japan offer debit cards and have ATM machines nationwide? Notice cellphones can be used as credit cards and have the ability to be used for purchasing, charging.
Is it possible to check your balance via a Japanese cellphone?
Laser surgery for eyes is also available in Japan?
Thank you

I think the postal bank offers these services. And they have the most widespread ATM network of the Japanese banks.
Notice cellphones can be used as credit cards and have the ability to be used for purchasing, charging.
Except they require the merchant to be able to accept smartcard payments (i.e. waon, nanaco, edy). Many places that accept credit card also accept smartcards, but not all do, and often will only accept the store branded smartcard. I'd guess that they are accepted at a fewer places than credit card, but they are convenient and I'd like to be able to use them more (although my bank account would definitely suffer).

Do you mean check the balance of your mobile smartcard or of your bank account? If mobile smartcard then yes. I'm not sure about bank account though, but I'm sure it varies a lot between banks.
