Nice to meet you all.

I will be temporarily returning to Japan for a week at the end of this month for the first time in several years.

I currently have a SIM-free iphone, and I was wondering if it is common to buy a temporary SIM card in Japan ？
I would be happy to know how everyone is doing when they return to Japan! ！

If you have any recommendations for companies or plans, could you please finish that as well ？.

I haven't been back home for a few years, so this may not be much help. when I returned in 2015, I used a Telecom Square voice SIM, which was cheaper because ANA offered free per day usage. when I checked on the web, I found that a lot has changed in Corona. I checked on the web and it seems to have changed a lot in Corona. Nowadays, there are docomo and Softbank for voice SIM （ that gives you a Japanese mobile number ）, but Softbank seems to be a good choice for short term. Prepaid SIMs sold on Amazon and other places are usually data-only, so unless you use LINE or Skype to make calls, it may be a hassle to call people in Japan. If your current carrier in the U.S. is ATT or Verizon, you may be better off with an overseas roaming plan $ 10/day for a short term. For other SIM rentals in Japan, the following URL may be helpful.
