Option 1: Pay cash at the vending machine once you arrived at the airport. Option 2: Buy at amazon in your country Option 3: Go to electronica shop to buy a sim card
I would be good if you could be more specific what kind of sim card you want to buy, your arrival location.

Hi Vinolin, If I were you, I would get a SIM card before traveling to Japan. You know, just in case, to be prepared for your trip. Also, I see that you don't have a credit card. In my case, I don't like paying online with my credit card, so I always use Paypal for it. I bought my SIM card, per the recommendation of my sister in law, here: https://www.jrailpass.com/sim-card. They do accept Paypal, and for me, that was one of the main reasons why I decided to get my card on this site.

Hi, vinolin. I'm a Japanese working in Tokyo for over a decade. Let me help you some. As justmyday said to you, those options will work fine. I just continue that. First, I'll add a list for justmyday's options 1 & 2 so that you can grab a bigger picture A Carefully Selected List of Prepaid SIM Cards Available in Japan https://prepaidsim.visitjapanplaces.com/prepaidsimSecondly, let me add an option. Option 4: Rent a SIM card Mostly, you can receive it at your designated places incl. airports & accomodations. Mostly, they are refundable. Mostly, you can rent it with a lower price. I just put a list for rental SIM card plans to compare prices and other specs. https://prepaidsim.visitjapanplaces.com/rentalsimproviderHope they can help your wonderful experience in Japan.
