Thanks so much for this wiki. It has made picking through the baffling options for keeping online much easier. Good to have some options though! When I first went to Japan 10 years ago the only option I knew of was hiring a phone at the airport at great expense, with no data allowance.

I've ordered the Japan 7 Days 5GB Data SIM from China Unicom. This is the best option for me because:

- I have a phone with no 4G capability. In the remote area that I am visiting in Japan there is a fast 4G network (f no use to me) but Softbank also have a 800Mhz 3G network there. NTT have a 3G network running on 850Mhz, which most non-Japanese phones are not compatible with.

- It is currently discounted to HK$ 169 including international postage.

I have had mine sent to a hotel in Japan that I will be staying in for 1 night only on arrival.

Some of the options here are, in my view, very very expensive, or have very limited allowances. What are you supposed to do with 100MB of 4G data a day?
