Softbank is the only service provider for the iPhone and iPad in Japan, and I use Docomo service. I purchased a wi-fi iPad from Softbank, and then I bought a pocket wi-fi modem and a 2 year service contract with Docomo.
The pocket wi-fi unit is made by Buffalo, and is probably available in America. You might be able to rent a SIM card and get temporary service via Softbank or Docomo to make it usable in Japan.
There are also many pay-as-you go hot spots in Japan (McDonald's, Starbucks...), and it is available in most hotels.
