Getting money into my new account

Hey! I am less than 2 weeks from moving to Japan and want some advice. (Ik not current but super close 😭)

I am trying to figure out the best way to get my money from the US to Japan (I have my institution helping me set up a bank account when I arrive). Is it best to bring USD, Yen, check, or just do a wire transfer? International wire transfer at my bank is $25 if sent in USD and $40 if sent in Yen.

What is everyone’s experience with this?
