Nowadays a lot of domestic market Japanese DVDs come with English subtitles. You would need enough Japanese to navigate through the menus, but the sub button on the remote will turn on/change the subs. Just look at the "fine print" on the back of the package to make sure what you are getting. I have a Japanese copy of DOA that has decent English subtitles. The special features and menus are all in Japanese, but it does have subtitles for the film itself.

1. learn Japanese, it will make things a lot easier.
2. Most of the movies should have English subtitles if they are set for an international release.
3. You could buy a Japanese movie via an english speaking country and it will have subtitles.

I bought mine at Wal-Mart...if you remember the animated movie..Spirited Away..Kao Nashi.. I found Memoirs of a Geisha,,but subtitled in French...
Twikfat is right..most you can buy with English Subtitles is for international release only. .
Try Wal-Mart..some have great prices but old movies other than that maybe you can ask local video shop near your place if they stored Japanese movies with translations.
I forgot you are in Japan..well..WalMart sells international
videos.. just incase..
