The "big three" cellular carriers in Japan are Au KDDI, NTT Docomo and Softbank. NTT Docomo is the largest of the three but Softbank boosts the most subscribers:
au KDDI - au by KDDI
NTT Docomo - NTT DOCOMO Global HOME
SoftBank - SoftBank |
However, there is not really any point buying a phone if you're just holidaying for a bit. A good number of stations still have pay phones if you really need to call a friend (which I often did, because I was always forgetting to charge my phone!)
