For vending machines, cash is ok. You can also use the Suica card. The suica card is handy if you are taking public transport. You need to buy one at the airport as they aren’t sold anywhere else. You can buy from a machine. You might need Yen for that, otherwise you can buy with credit card at the desk.
You can also try to download the Suica app and put it in your wallet on your phone. Try this before you leave.
