I can recommend econnectjapan.com .  There are more comparable
services in Japan, recent tlug threads also mentioned these.
I use their SIM card for internet access without volume limit.
For around 5.000円 it is usable for 30 days.  While slower 
than average Wifi access, it provides internet access at
practically all places in Japan.
