Trying to be vegetarian in Japan

I have been vegetarian all my life and struggle with eating meat. I can do it but it's not enjoyable and I know Japan has a big meat based food culture with their sushi and pork and stuff. I just need some tips on trying to stay as vegetarian as possible.
Also is it considered really rude to not finish your meals in Japan? Like if I ordered something that had a side of meat or something would it be okay to leave it? I understand a lot of people are quite proud of their cooking and I don't want to seem like an asshole tourist.
