English at PEK and NRT are from my experiences not that bad, better at NRT though. You will have no problems buying train tickets from the ticket counter at NRT or Keisei Ueno.
Tokyo is very safe, probably safer than Oslo, but PLEASE do not become victim of the scams in Roppongi. I managed that. The police in Tokyo doesn't seem to care about Roppongi at all nor will they help if something happens there.
Other than that, enjoy becoming "Lost in Translation".
