Smart cards have chips in them, not just the mag strip. The chip is required for the card to work in ATMs and other card readers. I just read about this on a travel site as having happened to Americans traveling in Europe. Check with your bank and see what they say. They maay have a relationship with a bank in Japan that can sort this out, perhaps getting you an account at the Japanese bank.
