Make sure that you donate to an organisation that Japan is actually accepting aid from! So far Japan has only requested help from Doctors Without Borders, the Red Cross, Save the Children, and a few other organizations. If you give through http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/japan-earthquake-tsunami-relief/ they will disburse your money directly to groups that are already on the ground in Japan.
My thoughts and prayers are with Japan.
