> ２）日本国内でPrepaidカードを購入しなさいというアドバイスもあります。
Due to past criminal abuse of prepaid phones, phone sellers must now verify the identity and place of residence of their buyers. Typical proof can be in the form of a Japanese driver's license, a Japanese Passport, or an alien registration card. Some stores may rarely accept foreign passports along with a hotel address as verification.

More realistic approach is that with a rental SIM card from a Japanese provider, you may use your own phone with a Japanese phone number and lower rates. Alternate solution is renting which is the also economical way for the average traveler to get a phone. It typically requires a picture ID and a credit card. Many companies have kiosks at the airports, while other companies will mail a phone to your hotel or to your home. You can return the phones at the airport.
