Yes, I used onamae.com before.
They are indeed really cheap, but transferring domains out to any
different registrar is a total pain in the ass.
And there are annoyances, like whenever you login, it'll remind you to
renew your domains even if you already renewed until like 2030 or
something.

I would rather recommend gonbei.jp, they are considerably more
expensive, but their support is pretty good.
However, the one annoyance is that whenever you want to reply to their
support tickets, you need to submit a new ticket altogether for whatever
reason.

A popular option for foreigners is jp-domains.com.
The website might come over as some kind of Indian scammer website, but
they are legit.
