Trip to Japan

I have been wanting to take a trip to Japan for quite some time now, but I hardly know any Japanese. I have heard mixed reviews on the consequences of not know the native language...

I have heard from some people that the Japanese are very stubborn and rude to people in their country that don't speak their language, like they will completely ignore you... even if they speak perfect english and know what you are saying, they will simply ignore you.

Then... I heard from another friend of mine that the Japanese are some of the most friendly and accomodating people you will ever meet. She said that when she was there, if she needed help or was lost, she could ask just about anyone on the street for directions and not only would they help her, they would buy her a train ticket and ride with her just to make sure she got to where she was going ok.

So... two very different points of view... which makes me uneasy about going to Japan if the first is true.

What has been other people's experiences?
