Sorry to hear about your folks. Not too sure about the transfer. A quick search brought this up, in case you hadn't seen it.

We just opened their wills and found out that we will receive a modest amount of money. I am wondering how I can send it to myself here in japan without having to pay a tax or penalty? Or will I just have to bite the bullet and get stuck paying some kind of inheritance tax. Any advice would be appreciated. I looked online but could only find how to send money different wiring companies.
I just wired C$11000, and got the 5th degree by my bank here. Who sent the money, what will it be used for etc. I didn't think it was any of there business. But I had to tell them.

My issue is when sending international bank wires....US accounts can be done online with a simple form. Never had one rejected.
JP banks, finally able to be completed online but each wire is scrutinized and several of mine have been rejected. With MUFJ - Wiring money to my own US account, moving money to my US savings is apparently not an acceptable reason for a bank wire. Wiring money for purchases or to have USD for travel is met with demands for invoices and the amount for travel is questioned to the level where one's privacy is not being respected. With Kiraboshi Ginko, it's even worse. To be fair, I've had far better luck recently with Shinsei but their system is limits the monthly amount that can be wired to a preregistered recipient.
