Unless you are planning on spending a lot of time traveling to different cities, I would forget the JR Rail Pass. It's 450 US dollars and it is hard to spend much traveling by train.
Second what MMM said. Most major stations are very easy to travel around, but there are some that aren't really meant for tourist, and besides traveling, there are tones of things that will need some level of communication....
