Good rule of thumb:
If it's a restaurant serving non-Japanese food (ie: family restaurant, Italian, Indian, burgers, etc.) then forks will almost always be available and, in some cases, the only utensil offered.
If it's a restaurant serving Japanese food, a fork will certainly be hard to come by.
As others have said, large (chain) Japanese restaurants in tourist areas might offer forks, but you'll never see a fork at, say, a ramen-ya.
A good idea might be to purchase your SO a pair of training chopsticks to practice both before the trip and to bring on the trip itself. You can bring them in your purse/backpack in a case and use wherever you go. Most parents have these for their kids, so it wouldn't be too weird. (There are quite a few options online, so just search around.)
White people sticks
They have beginner's chopsticks to help you learn quicker.
As a chopstick user I can honestly say I wish I had these growing up. Actually I wouldn't mind having them now. I have moments where I completely forget how to use them. (not a good thing to forget when you're asian)
Use something like these. My 5 year old students use the kids versions of these if they can't use normal chopsticks yet. You use your thumb on one chopstick and your index and middle finger on the other. Eventually, you'll get the hand motions down and can use normal chopsticks. If you want to use a different brand, make sure you search for adult training chopsticks otherwise the finger holes will most likely be too small.
