I've negotiated compensation in yen (keeps the wife happy, no exchange rate risk), but
haven't a good idea how to accept payment. 

I'm not trying to by funny here but if you've negotiated compensation in JPY, the natural habitat of a JPY is a Japanese bank account so can't you just give them your Japanese bank account details and let them work out how to get the JPY to it?

I've used Wise to send GBP->JPY to myself and it was as painless as such things get, but the convenience or otherwise is defined at the sender end, ie what's handy for an individual may be fiddly for a corporation and vice versa, and everything varies depending on which country you're sending from.
