Japan's ministry of tourism has announced a new program for visitors to Japan to address the problems many non-Japanese speakers/readers have in the country.
Starting in February they will have 100 PDAs available for free loan at Tokyo Narita airport, the PDAs will act as a voice translator, tourism guide, web browser, and phone, and will offer free phone calls and unlimited internet access.
All you need to do is answer a questionnaire when you leave the country (so make sure you get to the Airport at least 2 hours before your flight!)
