The ATM charges depends on which ATM you use it on. I think 7/11 charges 200yen. Also, with the Stack card, there is a transaction limit of $500CAD, so make sure you don't exceed the yen equivalent of $500CAD or else the transaction gets refused. When I first tried to use it in March at a Lawson to withdraw 50,000 yen, it was denied. Then I found out about the limit and later on in the trip I withdrew 40,000 yen and it was ok. That was at a 7-11 or Family Mart as it was in Kyoto.
I only used it at 7-11, I don't believe there was any transaction fee, it seems like I got the going exchange rate with no extra fees. 7-11 is everywhere in mainland Japan, at least in the big cities I was in (Tokyo, Osaka) but in Okinawa, very hard to find (I think only 2 7-11 in all of Okinawa). Okinawa is kind of its own separate island away from the mainland

It seems like Lawson has a monopoly in Okinawa. We've only seen Lawson there. No 7-11 there; not sure about Family Mart.
Went in May this year.
No transaction fees with 7-11
Didn't use any other ATMs as there are 7-11s almost every where but I believe when I tried the post office ATM it charged a fee so I walked over to a 7-11 instead.
