This was a delightful read, but I don't believe accurate. I'm writing this from tokyo at the moment (on vacation) and I haven't experienced any software hiccups.
The fingerprint reader at customs worked fine.
WiFi on the high speed train from Narita worked wonderfully. I signed up on the browser redirection, registered for the 1-day free offer for Visa cardholders, they correctly allowed me access to the CA so the connection was secure and their certificate signed. It was generally quite smooth.
Google Maps' detail in Tokyo is unbelievable. "Ginza line towards Shibuya station. Walk for 2m. Take the stairway down to the 1st floor. Walk for 25m" I am not making this up.
