If you're going to be traveling around Japan a fair bit, definitely opt for public transportation. To go between large cities or across long distances, the shinkansen (or, 'bullet train') is an excellent option, being both fast and efficient. The price may be a little higher than other ways of traveling, but the speech and experience is worth it. To travel within a city, check out the subway options. All major cities and many smaller ones have an extensive subway that should suit most, if not all, of your needs. Get ready to cram, though, especially if you'll be traveling first thing in the morning when everyone is heading to work or school. If you're in a less busy area, or are traveling only a short distance, bicycling is an excellent option. Since many people use bicycles, there are storage racks everywhere, including at subway stations if you need to switch transportation part-way to a destination. Biking is also an excellent way to get good scenic views! Whatever you do, though, do not drive a car. The streets are constantly clogged with both cars and people, and parking is virtually nonexistent.
