Not really. I know like two words. Maybe one. "Sumimasen" seemed to be the most versatile word for me. We encountered a lot of places that didn't speak any English, and a lot of places that did. The places that didn't speak any English were still really easy to maneuver because the majority of Japanese are so cool and patient and put up with ignorant people like myself.
I was most worried about the trains, but every JR office has an English speaking attendant to help you navigate the complexities.
Google Translate on my phone worked great in Vietnam and Japan. When we got in to an impasse, I'd whip out my phone and type it in there. They'd type back.
