1. after living there for four years, i would say the train system. it is easy to get lost but the japanesse will be more than happy to help you find your way. as long as you are nice and not disrespectful.
2. I would agree with the above poster. Trains and the subway systems are awesome, safe and always on time. We visited a few months ago and were very impressed. At the ticket counter they will tell you in solid English where/how to get anywhere. Important tip: Before you go though, you should get the Japan Rail Pass for the time you are staying there. It allows you for unlimited travel on JR (major) trains for the time you are there. You must get it outside of Japan though. Check the site http://www.japanrailpass.net/ for all info. It can be expensive otherwise.
