What is the best way to learn & understand Japan's transportation system before arriving

One easy way to get around is the Japan Rail pass https://japanrailpass.net/en/ . You buy a pass for a given time period, class and region) and can ride as much as you want. The pass works on most Japan railways and also a lot of local trains in Tokyo.

Timetables can be found easily with an app http://www.hyperdia.com/ . We would often just walk to the train station look up the next train and jump on it. If you want to reserve seats, you need to stop in a ticket office.

Caveat: Covid makes for a very fluid and unpredictable travel situation. Rules and conditions can change quickly and without advanced warning.
