In 2018, Japan ranked 5th overall in the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index, and 2nd in the infrastructure category.

In 2005, one half of Japan's energy was produced from petroleum, a fifth from coal, and 14% from natural gas.
Nuclear power in Japan made a quarter of electricity production but due to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster there has been a  large desire to end Japan's nuclear power program.
In September 2013, Japan closed its last 50 nuclear power plants nationwide, causing the nation to be nuclear free.
The country has since then opted to restart a few of its nuclear reactors.

Japan's spendings on roads has been considered large.
The 1.2 million kilometers of paved road are one of the major means of transportation.
Japan has left-hand traffic.
A single network of speed, divided, limited-access toll roads connects major cities and are operated by toll-collecting enterprises.
New and used cars are inexpensive, and the Japanese government has encouraged people to buy hybrid vehicles.
Car ownership fees and fuel levies are used to promote energy-efficiency.

Rail transport is a major means of transport in Japan.
Dozens of Japanese railway companies compete in regional and local passenger transportation markets; for instance, 6 passenger JR enterprises, Kintetsu Railway, Seibu Railway, and Keio Corporation.
Often, strategies of these enterprises contain real estate or department stores next to stations, and many major stations have major department stores near them.
The Japanese cities of Fukuoka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nagoya, Osaka, Sapporo, Sendai, Tokyo and Yokohama all have subway systems.
Some 250 high-speed Shinkansen trains connect major cities.
All trains are known for punctuality, and a delay of 90 seconds can be considered late for some train services.

There are 98 passenger and 175 total airports in Japan, and flying is a popular way to travel.
The largest domestic airport, Tokyo International Airport, is Asia's second busiest airport.
The largest international gateways are Narita International Airport (Tokyo area), Kansai International Airport (Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto area), and Chūbu Centrair International Airport (Nagoya area).
The largest ports in Japan include Nagoya Port, the Port of Yokohama, the Port of Tokyo and the Port of Kobe.

About 84% of Japan's energy is imported from other countries.
Japan is the world's largest liquefied natural gas importer, second largest coal importer, and third largest net oil importer.
Given its heavy dependence on imported energy, Japan has aimed to diversify its sources.
Since the oil shocks of the 1970s, Japan has reduced dependence on petroleum as a source of energy from 77.4% in 1973 to about 43.7% in 2010 and increased dependence on natural gas and nuclear power.
In September 2019, Japan will invest $10 billion on liquefied natural gas projects worldwide, in a strategy to boost the global LNG market and reinforce the security of energy supply.
Other important energy source includes coal, and hydroelectricity is Japan's biggest renewable energy source.
Japan's solar market is also currently booming.
Kerosene is also used extensively for home heating in portable heaters, especially farther north.
Many taxi companies run their fleets on liquefied natural gas.
A recent success towards greater fuel economy was the introduction of mass-produced Hybrid vehicles.
Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, who was working on Japan's economic revival, signed a treaty with Saudi Arabia and UAE about the rising prices of oil, ensuring Japan's stable deliveries from that region.
