You can go to Willcom and get a one year contract. The service is cheap (for Japan) about $50 a month. They have an interesting selection of phones and the purchasing process is a little less complicated than Docomo or Softbank.
Your best bet to make cheap international calls is to set up a Yahoo messenger phone account while you are still in the US. If you set up the account in the US, you can call the US from Japan and pay the local rate of one penny per minute. You can also make PC to PC calls for free.
