Recommended credit card for newcomers

Hello,

I recently moved to Japan for work. I have a bank account at JP Post and SMBC and was looking into getting a credit card. Is it recommended to use credit cards in Japan? Do they have various rewards and services like they do in the US?

Which ones do people recommend I look into? I found the EPOS card, and it looked quite interesting enough? Are there any others?

For reference, I have been in the country for 2 months now and have a 3 year highly skilled visa, if that affects things
