If I were to start putting together a 10 yen date collection is it pretty straight forward and economical? Are there any key dates that are problematic? Looks like 1951 to present would be the way to go. A precursory ebay search shows the coins are out there... just a matter of getting them all together I think. Any guidance would be appreciative. Thanks in advance.

The coins are cheap; reeded edge goes for about $0.25, and plain edge circulates freely at about 10 cents each.

Caveat: coins from the 70s and earlier are a BEAR to find in high grade (MS, problem-free, red & flashy) and command very steep premiums. A single MS red reeded edge will set you back more than collecting the entire series in VF-XF and brown toned.

I agree with Finn235. If you are looking for reasonable condition coins, they should be somewhat easy. I think I find the newer coins issued 2010 onwards to be a bit harder to find due to their lower mintage. There is one mule coin and is quite rare - just cannot remember what year it is.
