You already got an answer, just probably not the one you want. Unless things
have changed drastically since I tried to cash a US check in Japan, it will
be cheaper and faster to mail it to the states, and have someone wire it.
Like, 10 vs 30 days and some dollars in fees.

If you were counting on that money to live on right away, then I hope you
have a plan B.
