This is a reply to: I don't understand why this would be an appealing option. Why wouldn't you just use Skype, a VOIP call?

Well, the 050 number allows others to call you. You can receive calls as well as making them. Can skype receive in coming calls? And I hate skype's fees.

There's an IOS App called Tokyo 03 (Android support was dropped). You can make and receive calls and get a 03 (Tokyo) number. First 3 months are free.

As for the wireless or wirelessgate SIM (it's different from Japan-wireless), I've read negative reports that it didn't work in some devices. Your positive comments help a lot, thanks.

Going to Yodobashi Cam is a trek too.
