The Japanese R is considered to be a tap. It's like the single R in Spanish. I've also heard some people say that it's sort of like the pronunciation of "city" in Standard American English.

Sometimes the sound is more like an L to anglophone ears. Generally, though, it's about the same as the tapped (not trilled) r in Spanish.
