Hi Michael,

it depends on how you spend that  and how long are you staying since as
explained on other threads you can use your credit card in several places(I
am not aware of specific issue for foreign CC usage in Japan)
Japan is still a society using cash widely, large amount is not uncommon
and kind of safe to do so.
the sum suggested by Randy seems safe.
