Are you concerned about purchasing online in general?
There's a Softbank rental office at the arrival terminal at Narita but as they said, you run the risk of them running out of SIM cards if you don't reserve online.
If you reserve now, you'll also know your cell # prior to your arrival.
By the way, I did find some cheaper SIM rentals (via Google) but you can't go wrong with Softbank. After all, I believe they're the official Apple vendor for the Japanese market.
