There are more free ones than that list suggests, at least in Tokyo. The
ones at Family Mart and Tokyo Metro stations mean you typically don't

I'd also consider a mobile data-only SIM (which are available to
non-residents, because nobody has noticed VoIP calling yet) if you need
ubiquitous connectivity.
