Normal cellphones in Japan have internet capability. For softbank its Yahoo Keitai. Though it is a bit pricey, I don't use the internet on my phone except for checking train schedule or weather sometimes.

When my friend visited here, she thought that she could just use the roaming capability of her phone just like when she went to UK and US but it did not worked. We have to go to Softbank to have it enabled and and was a expensive. So she decided not to use it.

I guess renting would be more affordable and less hassle.
