These days I get most of my cards through Yahoo Auctions Japan, which is kind of Japan's equivalent of Ebay.
There are actually a fair number of baseball card shops here though (unfortunately none that are convenient for me, though I used to frequent a couple when I lived in a different city). Dave wrote some interesting posts about his visit to card shops in Japan on his blog here which makes for interesting reading/photos:

They also pop up in second hand stores and at flea markets, like this one:

But that is kind of exceptional! I've never been to a card show here either and am not sure if they exist in Japan.
