I have used my credit card numerous times here for amounts under 10,000 yen, and I have always, always had to sign. Maybe it depends on the card/shop.
In Tokyo at least, Shinsei bank ATMs, which are found in many subway stations and sometimes next to branches of Starbucks, also take foreign cards.
The only people I have ever come across who will grumble if you give them a 10,000 note for a small purchase are the ladies at train station kiosks- they do not like it. Anywhere else though and you are fine.
