No need to exchange any currency. If you have a cirrus/ maestro enabled bank account (e.g. commonwealth, citibank) then you can just withdraw money when necessary at the Japanese ATMs. That's what I always do throughout the world when I travel.
Having said that, if you are keen to exchange money I find the exchange rates at Casinos are usually excellent. On several occasions I've checked the rates at banks, exchange booths etc and the Casinos always beat - with no charges or commission. The only problem is getting out without spending it, as my g/f will attest to...
If you need any specific advice on Nippon you can PM me.
