Internet Setup in Japan

animusCollards writes: I'm going to Japan next week to see my in-laws. Amidst our home visit, low key sight-seeing, and an overnight at a ryokan, I've been tasked with getting the folks online. I'm planning a wireless network with a broadband connection and probably a Mac for ease of use. A no-brainer, right? Well, I don't speak Japanese. My wife is fluent, but only spoken language — use Kanji or lose it. I know we'll work this out, but it would be great if the /. crowd can get us around any obvious pitfalls.

So what would you do if you were setting up a simple home network in Tokyo?
