This hasn't been true for over a decade. 24/7 ATMs can be found at any convenience store, which are plentiful.

24/7 ATMs can be found at any convenience store, but there usually are fees associated with using them. Fees that vary depending on time of day and/or day of week. The ATMs anywhere else that is not a convenience store are also still, for the vast majority, not 24/7.

Most banks offers a few free convenience store ATM count per month. Usually requirement is like not using paper passbook or set the account to be given salary.
