Personally, I use www.FromJapan.co.jp - there might be slightly cheaper proxies out there for all I know, but they do their job quite well. Their website makes ordering from Yahoo Auctions or other sites quite easy, they're quite quick to respond to e-mails and take action where needed(I've had them ask sellers questions for me, for instance), and you get a great amount of options when it comes to the shipping from Japan. :)
Basically, you make an account, send a deposit sum to your account there from your bank account(using a credit card, or something), and after that you can either use the site's built in search engine to search for items on Yahoo Auctions, Rakuten, or whatever, without using the Japanese writing languages - or you can, as I'd suggest, go directly on the site you want(Yahoo Auctions, etc.) and search for what you're looking for there, using the Japanese writing languages if needed, and when you find an item you want, you copy the URL to it and enter it on the From Japan site, and bid or buy.
They also have a sniper tool, which can come in handy. ;)
