Credit Suisse, and/or UBS accepts deposit via teller, i'm sure these guys at local bitcoins have bank accounts.

The other option would be to open an account at Mt. Gox : mtgox.com, and send via international wire or IBAN to their Japanese yen bank account. But this would be a conversion from CHF or Euro to Yen, then from Yen to US Dollar or Euro account. There would be exchange difference losses there. International wire takes several days.
