We can shit on Google for a lot of things, but if you travel to Japan, you'll be thankful for Google lens and Google maps. Lens because it can translate whatever you point it at, and maps because it can figure out which subway route to take.
Also install a IC card reader app so you can check your balance before getting stuck somewhere.
An ic reader helps if you're not actively paying attention. When you swipe your card it gives you the balance too for those who don't know. I recommend getting a suica card at the airport and just load it up, you can use it for all sorts of travel vehicles, shops and vending machines. Including at the airport on the way home, no reason to just load it with 10 bucks at a time. I just chucked 50 bucks on there for my couple week stay. Google maps is actually amazing for the trains. Takes a sec to figure it out but it's great.
