The Tokyo Metro Subway train system will get you to most of the major tourist destinations without many issues. Probably the hardest part is knowing which exit to take once you get off the train. However, there are large yellow maps at each station showing where you are and which exit will take you to which location. All in english thankfully. If your a tourist and heading out for a day of sightseeing I recommend getting the open day ticket which will get you an open ended ticket for the day on any of the metro subway lines. A very cheap option.
Grab yourself the Metro Subway map so you can plan your trips in advance.
If your are want more of the above ground train experience then the Yamanote train line is for you. Think of it as the equivalent of any major city loop train but this ones BIG.
With any of the train lines you never have to worry about paying the wrong fare. At each destination and just before the exit gates you'll find a fare adjustment machine (there is an english menu option). If you are ever unsure of which fare to pay then pay the lowest fare at the start of your journey and then locate the fare adjustment machine near the exit gate when you get off at your station, place in your ticket and pay any extra amount owed.
