Cell phones in Japan

Hey there,
my name is Daniel and I am going to fly to Japan next October to stay there for a year abroad and I have a question regarding cell phones.
Since my old Samsung Galaxy S4 broke last week, I decided to buy myself a new one. But I am not sure if a normal cell phone I bought here in Germany can even be used in Japan, because I read a lot about different problems with foreign cell phones in Japan.
So, before I just go ahead and order a new Galaxy S4, I wanted to ask if I can even use it in Japan. If yes, is there anything else I need to know regarding cell phones in Japan? For example, it would also be helpful to know about cheap mobile tariffs - maybe even especially for foreigners, if there is anything like that.

Normale Verträge (Softbank, AU und Dococmo sind die drei großen ; wie Telekom, O2 und bla bla) sind teuer. Verträge sind auf 2 Jahre begrenzt. Du musst dir ein neues Handy kaufen wenn du da einen Vertrag machen willst. Die auf ihr Geld achten buchen sogenannnte MVNO http://www.mondaiji.com/blog/japan/general/10240-sim-only-mobile-provi...Wenn dein Samsung Galaxy4 da funzt (mein S2 und S5 Galaxy haen in Japan tadellos funktioniert) dann gehen MVNO. Manchmal brauch man Japanischkenntnisse. Und vllt ne Kreditkarte fürs Set-up. Es gibt nichts extra für Ausländer, eher weniger. und warum ein S4? Ist das nicht ein bissel alt...
