As far as I know Google Maps does not work off-line in Japan (the ZENRIN data that Google is using does not appear to be downloadable last time I tried). There are other offline map apps such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.aponia.bor3.offlinemaps&hl=en but it is not as good. Fortunately my Android tablet is also my phone so I can download as I go but it uses a lot of bandwidth. It would be cool if someone, the Ministry of Tourism perhaps, could persuade ZENRIN to be more generous with its maps prior to the Olympics for a fee of course.
