Answer

ANo.1 1. Transportation - Foreigners have trouble getting around places because of the complex subway systems in japan. Although, nowadays there are signs in English as well as Korean and Chinese.
2. Language - This is hard especially because Japanese people are not very fond of speaking in English or in any other foreign languages daily. It would be nice if you could give them the least they must know to get around places and to live in Japan.
3. Living - Especially if that person is living alone, he or she must need a friend who can speak/understand high level of Japanese to get through all the complex registries. This not only applies to getting a place to live but also in order to create a bank account, let's say.

These were the three major problems that I assumed for any foreigners, especially if they are not used to the Japanese culture and language.
