Every hotel worth its salt will also rent you a phone, although, at 2000 Yen
per day plus 300 yen per minute, it is much better to just buy a Tu-ka, not
a high end phone, but still, for aboout 3000 yen outright. These are no
problem to pick up, its just the higher end phones that are controlled.
These are more like buying a phone card in the US.

So you can hire a mobile phone at the airport?  Everything I've read
seemed to suggest that it was extremely difficult to get a mobile phone
as a visitor to Japan, but maybe that's only true if you want to buy the
phone?
