I rented Airbnb apartments in each city I visited (Tokyo a couple times, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima and Kyoto), which was pretty painless and not too expensive. Definitely better value for money outside of Tokyo -- probably Osaka or Kobe was the best in that case. I mostly worked from cafes, but I'm a bit of a coffee snob so I spent a fair bit of time and energy finding the perfect combination of coffee, wifi, and comfort. I've definitely got some suggestions if it's something you're interested in.
