Amazon.jp has an "Amazon in English" feature that puts sort of English 
in enough of the key areas that a non-Japanese speaker can navigate, 
decide, and make an order.  Rakuten also offers shopping in English via 
an on-the-fly translator provided by Excite.com.

Also, there is Chrome and Chromium (the open source base for Chrome) 
which have a Google Translate-based popup option that works adequately 
on Kakaku.com and other local sites.

I am pretty sure that almost all sites use the same translation 
dictionaries ... which are all pretty poor, but get you by.

Most manufacturers that do not sell the exact same product in Japan as 
the Rest Of The World usually have a "family" designation for the 
Japan-only model that is close enough to find.   And, photos are always 
printed out in English, or any other language you need.
