Don't travel to Japan without business cards. It's really awkward when everyone gives you one and asks for one back, as I think exchanging them is an important part of meeting someone there.

Indeed. Remember: accept them with both hands and briefly inspect them. It's the polite thing to do.

Absolutely. You can also ask about the name pronunciation, etc. This is Japanese small talk.
