How to use "Remittance" appropriately
I'm not sure about the appropriate use of the word "remittance" in the context of making a payment. Can I use the word in the following way? (In this case, I'm going to pay by check.)
I will include the invoice with the remittance.
Where should I send the remittance?
When I make a payment by check, is it okay to recognize that "check" is almost similar to "remittance"? I haven't had enough experience in paying by check when I was in Japan, so I'm kind of confused...

Remittance is not the same as a check. Remittance is a transfer of money in any form, not necessarily by check.
Use the word 'check' when you are referring to your check. Don't substitute the word 'remittance' for 'check'.

Remittance usually is referring to something you are forced to pay for (a ransom, fine, court fees), or for a service that was already provided but still needs to be paid for. Payment is the same as remittance as you are saying it. A check is a form of payment, you give a bank money to place in an account and they give you a check to pay someone else in place of the money. The other person "cashes" the check from the bank and gets the same amount of cash.
