7-Eleven and Post Offices are the only places which accept cards issued outside of Japan. I assume they have to cover all possible types of cards, otherwise people from other countries could get stuck without money here that way.

Some other combinis also accept foreign cards, but yes, getting money from a foreign credit/debit card in Japan can be difficult.

I hope this doesn't make it even harder to do so.
