I went to Japan on a business trip for a few days in January. Between my work and the jet lag I didn't get much free time to explore, so I'm no help there.
Assuming you're going over there from somewhere in the US, the best way to beat the jetlag is to try to stay up all the way over. I actually tried to sleep until I hit the west coast (San Francisco), then tried to stay up from there to Tokyo. On the way back try to sleep as much as you can.
A lot of the Japanese people speak English, at least if you're in the urban areas. The Japanese people are very polite.
On United in coach class at least, there are no plug ins for laptops. What I did was borrow a bunch of batteries from my colleagues. The other thing you can do is configure your laptop for maximum battery use.
The food is different, but I made a commitment to try all of it and ended up liking it a lot except for the raw tofu and the cow stomach.
Have fun!
