if you want to really help out put yourself on a plane and head on over there to donate your time and labor. they can use as much man power as possible to clean up regions affected. i am sure there are humanitarian relief efforts goind on right now for the area.
a 1-way ticket to Japan costs upwards to $1,300+ and that does not cover living expenses, food, and other stuff that atm is severely limited. Going there would be a huge waste of money on your end and you'd just be "In the way" over there using up the little resources they have in this crisis.

If you really wanna support them donate money to a credible organization that is going to send aid their way. I myself dropped $100 at American Red Cross where my mom works just so I can feel that I may have saved someone's life.
